It's Nice To Be Taken Seriously.

Miyazaki's Films In Japan Are Bigger Than Titanic. He's An Incredible Rock Star There. In The Us, They Don't Do As Well.

I Get Rewarded Virtually Every Day With Something Amazing To See - Whether It's A New Shot, A Miniature Sweater, Someone Who's Figured Out How To Make The Hair Look Really Great. We Found A Way To Do The Rain, Finally. And Mud. Make The Trees. So I Get To Stay In Constant Motion As A Director, You Know, Reviewing Things. And There's A Lot To Review.

I Feel I'm Just Meant To Do Stop-motion. Live-action Is Much More Glamorous To Some, But It's Basically A Whole Army Of People Focused On One Thing.

Having To Make A Blockbuster Every Time Puts Unhealthy Pressure On Creatives. The Pressure On The Filmmakers Is So Intense, I Think It Stifles The Creativity.

It's Nice To Be Taken Seriously.
