I'm still tap dancing. I'm still going.
boys invisible ability
As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.

I have always had this energy, which I think of as overdrive.
cutting firsts dimensions
From the very first movie I ever made to the current time, there have been times between action and cut when I've sensed some kind of new dimension that I haven't been familiar with before.

I have to be stretched in some way. There's not enough things that come my way that I fancy.

I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.

I loved the scent of the wallflowers in the evening.

In my youth I dreamed of being an illustrator.

It wasn't until I saw James Dean that I began to think that maybe I could actually do this. Movies didn't have to be just this fantasy with this impossibly handsome guy.

I was very disappointed that so much of the work I did on The Haunted Mansion didn't arrive in the final cut.
