I Have Some Favorites. I Love Chaplin;

There Is No Right Way To Live. You Preclude A Lot Of Life By Trying To Conform To That Kind Of Ideal Or Stereotype. And It's A Natural Inclination In A World Where It's So Complex And So Occasionally Valueless, Morally Bankrupt, And Chaotic That We Want To Reach Back To Something In Our Past.

Any Director, If You Really Ask Them, Will Tell You That The Toughest Thing To Do Is Like A Dinner Table Or A Dialogue Scene Because You Need To Keep That Electricity Maintained Throughout The Course Of The Film.

Now, I Just Made An Animated Movie A Few Years Ago, 'the Tale Of Desperaux', And That Had Twelve Hundred Shots In It. Twelve Hundred Cg Shots Is A Pretty Big Plan.

As A Writer And A Director, I Simply Don't Have The Time I Need To Write And Prep The Movie I Would Have Wanted To Make Because Of The Fixed And Tight Production Schedule.

You Have To Listen To The Movie While You're Making It. I Think That's Important.
