I'm trying to escape by forming my own kind of world. Basically, I'm trying to encourage others to do the same.

I wasn't creative or theatrical. I was just doing everything. I was head cheerleader, valedictorian - it was ridiculous!

Writers do the self-censoring before they even get to the studio executive, because they know the film will not run that gauntlet. They, because they want to get their films made, they censor it.

The English are such a frightened, nervous, insecure group of people - they no longer rule the world!

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

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.

Once the voices are in your head, it's either make a movie or kill a lot of people.
