Emotions are messy and hard to figure out.

Felt is not the easiest thing to animate. It's very flimsy.

Where The Wild Things Are we were asking a lot of a 9-year-old kid. We were asking a lot of any actor.

I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.

The past is just a story we tell ourselves.

The fact that Maurice Sendak said, "This is something that I made at your age, this was something that was personal to me, and now you need to take it and make something that's personal to you." I don't know, but we made the Where The Wild Things Are movie that we set out to make, and Maurice loves it. If Maurice was anxious about it, then I would be petrified.

I am better at math than spelling.
