I never really consider myself as a great artist. I just always like to draw.

I always liked making things, and then I fell into animation. And then luck comes into it as well.

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 never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.

First of all, you make a movie that you want to see and then you just hope for the best.

You know, those kinds of things in your life...movies you try to work out your issues, then you realize those kinds of traumatic issues just stay with you forever and they just keep reoccurring, and no matter how hard I try to get them out of my head, they just sort of stay there.

Johnny Depp is somebody I really love working with because he doesn't care how he looks. He wants to become weird characters and I like that.
