I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

I'd been out to a lot of people since 19. I wish to God it had happened then. I don't think I would have the same career - my ego might not have been satisfied in some areas - but I think I would have been a happier man.

I realised those things my ego needed - fame and success - were going to make me terribly unhappy. So I wrenched myself away from that. I had to. I had to walk away from America and say goodbye to the biggest part of my career because I knew, otherwise, my demons would get the better of me.

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 finally wasn't interested in writing music that played while actors talked.

As much as I love make-up and the creativity behind this, the Internet can be a horrible place, and sometimes, with so much negativity and hate, it's hard.

I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone's imagination.
