And I'm Not A Micromanagement Guy. I

I'm Always Excited To Work With Actors.

There Is An Amount Of Abstraction In My Movies, And Sometimes They Don't Really Understand It Until The Film Is Finished.

I Think Animation Is A Very Truthful Way To Express Your Thoughts, Because The Process Is Very Direct. That's What I've Always Liked About Animation, Particularly Abstract Animation. You Go From The Idea To Execution, Straight From Your Brain. It's Like When You Hear Someone Playing An Instrument, And You Feel The Direct Connection Between The Instrument And His Brain, Because The Instrument Becomes An Extension Of His Arms And Fingers. It's Like A Scanner Of The Brain And Thought Process That You Can Watch, Or Hear.

In The '90s Movies Were So Serious, And So Stylistic And Slick That I Could Not Identify With Them.

I Don't Call Cut Between The Takes - It's My Way To Help The Actor Keep Focused. As Soon As You Say 'cut' You Have 10 People Jumping On Them And Everybody's Trying To Do A Great Job, And They Do, But Sometimes They Forget That The More Important Thing Is The Performance, Creating The Performance.
