“I get inspiration from my everyday life.”

I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue.

We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.

The villains are all parts of me.

Airplanes are the most beautiful when they are in the air.

All my films are all my children.

Young people are surrounded by virtual things. Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.

I think it’s really good for a family or children to have a dog, cat, bird or whatever to grow up with.

It’s not very pleasant to draw evil figures.

It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.

I can’t stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.

The greatness of a mind is determined by the depth of its suffering.

Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.

The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.

Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

In this world of ours, the sparrow must live like a hawk if he is to fly at all.

Cut off a wolf’s head and it still has the power to bite.

Oh Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest the mischief done!

Settle one difficulty, and you keep a hundred away.

If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

If you ain’t putting the people around you on and giving them the strength, confidence, courage, beliefs, and love to be GREAT then what you here for!

Art is the proper task of life.

Never take yourself too seriously. Laugh, learn, keep it real.
