Hollywood has a way of sucking the world's talent to it.

The big nut to crack is to how to tell a story, what’s the right way to tell a particular story.

People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.

It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.

If the animators could hide something so secretly that I could watch it numerous times, both on the computer and on the screen, and not pick up on it, then it deserves to be in the movie. But if they had more overt things, I'd often tell them to cut it out. In general, as long as they captured the spirit of the character, then they're fine. But sometimes it took a while, and we had to replace a lot of animators.

When you're trying to get laid, everything's great, but once you've been with someone eight years and the future is not finite, you have time to sit and really examine every little thing that irritates you.

Well, you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting, people who have been disappointed so many times.
