I think it reflects well on the state of animation that people are knowledgeable about it and love the fantasy and imagination that goes into it. ”

I listen to Emmylou Harris. She's my favorite. I don't know why, but I just feel more creative with her playing. ”

I think it's part of the responsibility of an artist to shock, to upset, to make people think differently, and to surprise people. And that's where the good humor is, if there's a surprise and there's something unexpected. Something that's not normal, not in the realm of general living expectations. ”

Hand-drawn animation is something that I feel really strongly about. A Pixar movie may be really great, but it looks like it was drawn by a machine. ”
