I'd love to do a PG-13 animated adventure. It would be great.
It's a mistake for Hollywood to impose themselves on the gaming space. Not only is it arrogant, but it hasn't really worked.
The curse is an incredible set of blue balls.
I like horror movies, and in fact I like them even more now after making one. I just think they're much more liberating because you don't really have to apply a very strict logic.
Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything.
It's always good to keep people guessing.
I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear
I think when you get people who are really talented and you take them out of their comfort zone, you get a lot more out of them.
I always wanted to do an animated movie. I find it to be incredibly liberating as a way of telling a story.
I want to diagnose the audience a bit and then offer a cure.
My agent called and said, 'How do you feel about a pirate movie? I mean, how often are you going to get that call? It's sort of the singularly most failed genre of our time, but I thought it had to be attempted one more time. I think there's something rebellious about pirates, something revolutionary about them. They came out of a time when things were oppressive; you could get hung for stealing a loaf of bread. For me, the Pirates films are about when it's right to break the rules to achieve what you want.
I just watched so many Westerns as a kid that you end up using archetypes and sort of tropes of that genre, because there's a language there and you can twist it and turn it on its head or play to it or go sideways at any time.
Animation is a technique, not a genre.
I'm a fan of the western genre. When I see a character actor, I see a whole movie behind a scene before and after. There's a whole other movie behind it.
