This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

I believe in 3D for certain kinds of films. I certainly believe in using 3D for all things in animation because animation has such clarity and so much depth of focus. It worked great with 'Avatar' because 70 percent of that film is animated.

I think all directors should be animators.

There are so many rumours about so many of us in the public eye. Sometimes it's too hard to deny what is not true.

The love we do not show here on Earth is the only thing that hurts us in the after-life.

Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before it's popular. So audiences will not be drawn to the technology; they'll be drawn to the story. And I hope it always remains that way.
