art creativity mean
Technology is technology and then art form and people's creativity is another thing. Anything that helps an artist do anything - great! Technology for technology sake doesn't mean much to me anyway.
emotional thinking add
3D is great, but I just think of it as another tool, like colour or music or sound. It has the potential to add another emotional layer to certain things if you use it right. But it's not the saviour [of the movies], the be all and end all, the reason to do something.
morning holiday spiders
I'm not a big fan of spiders, rats, especially if they're like - I got up one morning on a holiday recently, and there was a centipede in the bed that big. I wasn't very happy about that.
firsts want hoping-for-the-best
First of all, you make a movie that you want to see and then you just hope for the best.
beautiful joy film
That's what I always loved about [Federico] Fellini's films: You see the weird joy of the weird filmmaking family and the abstract craziness that goes along with it, and there's something about it that's quite beautiful.
culture gravestone categories
I'm going to put that on my gravestone. "He created such a category of unwanted pop culture - - Famous for directing unwanted cultural references"
kids mad scientist
When I was a kid I always wanted to be a mad scientist. I don't know... a regular scientist just was no un.
dog want too-much
I don't have a dog, because I travel too much. I don't want to just leave it abandoned.
dream real mean
For me, fantasy has always been a means of exploring reality: it explores the fact that your internal life, your dreams and the weird images and the things that come to you are things that are actually important tools for dealing with real issues.
drawing interesting way
I don't look at my films or my old drawings much, so that was an interesting way to kind of reconnect with myself a bit.
different exciting different-things
There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.
thinking names impact
I think of Ray Harryhausen's work - I knew his name before I knew any actor or director's names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that's what made me interested in animation: His work.
crazy blessed thinking
If you want people to leave you alone then appearing to be crazy is a good thing. If you're walking down the street talking to yourself people tend to give you a wide berth! But I've always been blessed with being easily ignored or avoided. I think maybe it's because people think I look a little crazy.
technology drawing age
I am not a big technology person. I don't go on the Internet really much at all. Drawing is like a zen thing; it's private, which in this day and age is harder to come by.
