If You Can't Beat Them. Join Them

I Really Do Believe That All Of You Are At The Beginning Of A Wonderful Journey.as You Start Traveling Down That Road Of Life, Remember This: There Are Never Enough Comfort Stops. The Places You're Going To Are Never On The Map. And Once You Get That Map Out, You Won't Be Able To Re-fold It No Matter How Smart You Are. So Forget The Map, Roll Down The Windows, And Whenever You Can Pull Over And Have Picnic With A Pig. And If You Can Help It Never Fly As Cargo.

If You're Doing A Large, Complicated Character With Radio Controls, It Might Take A Number Of People Several Months To Make It And If You're Talking About A Quick Little Hand Puppet, It Could Be Made In 2 Days, So There's Enormous Range There, And No Real Easy Generalities.

I Know It's Easier To Portray A World Filled With Cynicism And Anger, Where Problems Are Solved With Violence...it's An Easy Out. What's A Whole Lot Tougher Is To Offer Alternatives, To Present Other Ways Conflicts Can Be Resolved, And To Show You Can Have A Positive Impact On Your World. To Do That, You Have To Put Yourself Out On A Limb, Take Chances, And Run The Risk Of Being Called A Do-gooder.

I Don't Want'a Die... I Have Other Plans!

A Film Is Not Done By One Person. It's Done By A Lot Of People. I Love This Whole Collaborative Aspect. When It Works Well, You End Up With Something Better Than Any Of Us Started Out To Do.
