You cant second-guess yourself as a filmmaker.

It's curtains for you, Mighty Mouse! This gun is so futuristic that even I don't know how it works!

Its all big money, high rent, high prices in New York City now. The poor people completely got rolled over. I've never seen anything like it in my life. It's disgusting.

I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.

What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.

I would like to have the original ending to my Lord of the Rings instead of the one they released. In my original cut I had the victory at Helm's Deep as the final sequence.

Too many of Disney animators, and a lot try to emulate Disney, are trying to hit what they call quality levels. They're boring mannerisms.
