Computers Don't Create Computer Animation Any More

Animation Is The Only Thing I Ever Wanted To Do In My Whole Life. I Have No Desire For Live-action Or Anything Else.

This Is What I Always Tell My Filmmakers-you Have To Do Tons Of Research, Because You Don't Know Where The Inspiration Is Going Come From.

I Just Devoured All Of His [buster Keaton’s] Films Because His Sense Of Comic Timing Was Amazing. He’s The Closest A Human Being Has Ever Come To A Cartoon Character. And I Was Just Amazed At His Sense Of Character And Timing, The Humor. It's All Just So…sophisticated, Even When You Watch It Today.

The Closer You Get To Reality, The Harder It Is To Make It Look Convincing To The Audience. That's Why I Tend To Make Things [films] That Are A Little Bit More Caricature.

There’s Never A Wrong Idea. You Just Keep Throwing Stuff Out And Inevitably There Are Elements Of Different Things That Inspire A Character Or Environment.
