I don't look at my films or my old drawings much, so that was an interesting way to kind of reconnect with myself a bit.

Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.

When I saw Carlos's drawings, they reminded me a little of the way I draw. They showed that you could make appealing human characters.

It's two thirds cheaper than other animated films. As animated films go this is low budget.

In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn't work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They're relying too much on the technology and not enough on the artists.

I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
