Animating is a very slow, pain-staking process and the animators become the actors at that point.

Paris is a place where, for me, just walking down a street that I've never been down before is like going to a movie.

What happened to your hand? It got hit by a mirror. How'd that happen? I lost my temper at myself.

India is a place where one of the great pleasures for a foreigner is that you're constantly surprised. Everywhere you look is something that is either funny, or very moving, but there is always so much that is so unexpected. That's part of the reason why people who like it tend to love it.

I don't really wanna think about themes. I wanna just think about the experience of the movie. I feel like, as soon as I reduce it to a theme, once I write that sentence, it won't be that great. I feel like there's more potential for it to mean something interesting if I'm not forcing it to mean something I've already decided.

When you finish work, practically everybody in that place is going to watch a movie at night anyway. They're tired. They have dinner. They go up to their room. They're watching TV.

Sometimes if the people are up for trying something that I'm interested in, it can be a great experience.
