I never define depression, clinical or otherwise. It's the basis of most life, it seems to me, in the modern world. We're all depressed.

I think that's the problem with kids now. Everything is manufactured. And then they're sitting there watching the television, where all the work is done for them. Radio made me use my imagination.

Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.

The more money you have to work with, the more people you have to deal with that you probably don't want to be spending time dealing with.

Talent is less important in filmmaking than patience.

I'm more prone to anarchy than I am to control - even though I'm a film director.

I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
