I’ve spent a life loving women and studying them as much as I can, or am allowed to.

Loving Study Woman
I’ve been joking that if Madonna taught us anything, you’ve got to reinvent yourself. I think it’s important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you’ve got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances.

I think that there’s an infinite amount of places where you can stick a camera. There’s an infinite amount of choices of what could be going on. There’s an infinite amount of places for so many things, so you have to figure out how to do your job.

Choice Jobs Thinking
I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion.

I end up spending a tremendous amount of energy and time trying to get money to make these movies and it’s exhausting.

Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do – every 24 frames of a second.

Chance Life Live Long Second
I’ve tried to take a chance with every film I’ve done – I’ve never done it the easy way, and I think that’s because that’s what excites me, is making as big a mountain as I can in front of me, and just trying to mount it.

I think it’s my nature to try and make original content, and that’s what I’ve done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently.

I think I came to film-making through writing. I started to write, and people, teachers, responded to my writing.

I think people are people and, if their feelings are truthful, they can connect. It doesn’t matter if you’re an aging, 50-something wrestler at the end of his career, or an ambitious, 20-something ballet dancer.
