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

I'm having the same problems today that I had when I first started, saying that outrageous adult animation works.

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.

I'm the first to admit that I can't be as good as Tolkien, and a movie can never be as good as Tolkien.

I draw what I feel, which is no more than doing my job.

My good films were independent and my bad films were not.

You cant second-guess yourself as a filmmaker.
