lonely real moving
I started to do stop-motion when I was a kid. You take a Super 8 and make some models, and move, click, move, click. All that. I love all forms of animation, but there is something unique and special to stop-motion: it's more real and the set is lit like a set. But I think it's also a kind of lonely and dark thing to want to do.
kings tired old-things
And I Jack, the Pumpkin King, have grown so tired of the same old thing...
nice ideas rooms
It's very nice to have someone that you can have a completely abstract conversation with and leave the room, feel like everything's fine, and then realize that if you pick it apart, you have absolutely no idea what either of you said.
religious school passion
I remember being forced to go to Sunday school for a number of years, even though my parents were not religious. No one was really religious; it was just the framework. There was no passion for it. No passion for anything. Just a quiet, kind of floaty, kind of semi-oppressive, blank palette that youre living in.
thinking decision levels
I've always been more comfortable making my decisions from the subconscious level, or more emotionally, because I find it is more truthful to me; Intellectually, I don't think like that because I get uncomfortable.
morning earth hello
Good morning starshine the earth says hello....
hero play people
I've found that the people who play villains are the nicest people in the world and people who play heroes are jerks.

Half the fun is plan to plan
kind felt
I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.
real actors pushing
Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who's very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real.
dream real talking
I don't really dream, I space out during the day - that's one of my problems wonder off when someone's talking to me. I can't remember any dreams in my life. There's so much strange in real life that it often seems like a dream.
kissing evil levels
You don't know whether chimps are going to kill you or kiss you. They're very open on some levels and much more evil in a certain way.
choices nappies meetings
If I had a choice about going to a meeting at a studio or changing a nappy, I'd choose the nappy.
musical stories soundtracks
One of the things I loved about the musical was that you listened to the soundtrack and it told you the story.
