Chris Cooper I got to work with many times.

If you compromise what you're trying to do just a little bit, you'll end up compromising a little more the next day or the next week, and when you lift your head you're suddenly really far away from where you're trying to go.

You make a movie that is about what you want it to be about and let people have their reaction to it.

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

Big emotions that are unexplained are really scary. At least to me.

Don't differentiate between 'This is a job' and 'This is what I'm doing for fun.' It's all simultaneous.

If I can make one generalised statement, and generalised statements are never entirely true, nobody wants to be talked down to, kids included.
