It's Good As An Artist To Always

I Worked At Disney Many Years Ago. They Just Let Me Sit In A Room For A Couple Of Years And Draw Whatever I Wanted To Draw, So It's A Very Personal Thing To Me. Drawing And Everything You Do There Is Something Meaningful And Personal.

That's Why I Like Old Monster Movie Actors, Because They Transform Into Different Characters Or Creatures.

If You Ever Had A Pet, With Me It Was A Dog, With That Sort Of Unconditional Love That Only Dogs Can Give, People Can't Do That; That Sort Of Thing Where It's Very Powerful, It's Kind Of Your First Love And Your First Real Relationship, And Usually Your First Experience With Death.

There Was One Moment, And It Happened In School. I Had A Big Final Exam - We Were Supposed To Write A 20-page Report On This Book About Houdini. I Probably Would Have Loved Reading It, But I Didn't, So I Just Decided To Make A Little Super-8 Movie Based On It. I Tied Myself To The Railroad Tracks And All That. I Mean, This Is Kid Stuff, But It Impressed The Teacher, And I Got An A. And That Was Maybe My First Turning Point, When I Said, 'yeah, I Wouldn't Mind Being A Filmmaker.'

I Think A Lot Of Kids Feel Alone And Slightly Isolated And In Their Own World.
