A Lot Of Innovation In Language Comes

I Like To Work With Actors That Have Varied Experiences. But I Don't Choose Them Because Of Their Experience, I Choose Them Because Of Qualities I Think Would Make An Interesting Character And To Me There Is No One Way To Direct Actors, There Is Only One Way To Collaborate With One Person.

I'm Not Interested In Stories. Stories Are Interesting But I Don't Think My Head Works That Way. I Remember At Age 10 I Dreamt Of Making Animated Cartoons As Loops, Something You Could Just Project On Your Wall And Look At From Time To Time. Kind Of, Something To Stare At, Something That's Always There.

I Didn't Get The Degree Because In My Last Year, For My Thesis Film I Made A Feature Called Permanent Vacation And They'd Given Me A Scholarship, The Louis B Mayer Fellowship And They Made A Mistake.

I Hate Those Live Action Versions Of Animated Cartoons. It Ruins Everything, The Whole Point Of Cartoons Is To Get Away From Photographs. I Mean It Would Be Stupid To Say That Cartoons Are Better Than Photographs But Its True.

If You Make A Film, That Magic Is Not There, Because You Were There While Shooting It. After Writing A Film And Shooting It And Being In The Editing Room Every Day, You Can Never See It Clearly. I Think Other People's Perception Of Your Film Is More Valid Than Your Own, Because They Have That Ability To See It For The First Time.
