And I Jack, the Pumpkin King, have grown so tired of the same old thing.

I like the challenge of doing things you know that you maybe shouldn't do.

You can learn a lot from children because they see things new every day. That's the beauty of what you want to achieve as an artist - seeing things in a different way. Kids are constantly saying things that are funny and surprising and their observations are just... you know, they're like little artists themselves.

I am not a dark person and I don't consider myself dark.

Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

I feel any time you enter a dream world it's like you're working out things, it's all inside your mind and you're working it out, be it Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, or the kids in Narnia, they go through this weird journey that's not real, and they're going through this journey psychologically. It's that journey of discovery, of getting onself together, that fantasy and fairy tales are so good at. And while some people still look upon them as completely unrealistic, for me they're more real than most things that are perceived as real.

Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith.
