I have decided that I want animation to be taken seriously; that is the goal of my life. I believe that animation is a very important medium to tell stories, not just for kids but for adults.

I would never jump under a subway car because that would delay all the people behind me. How inconsiderate!

Once an audience feels that you trust them like you trust a friend, they do become your friends.

The ability to understand and deliver comedy and tragedy is extremely rare in one composer.

There can be no formula in arts. Formulas are for factory mass productions. There are no discoveries in already discovered formulas.

I define art as a work created by a human that has a unique point of view and discovers something that was not there before.

Even if you have a gift, it's nearly impossible to become a good actor in just a few weeks of training.

I animated everything traditionally, on paper. I love how the texture of paper looks (it also matches textures of papier-mâché) and I love the tactile process.

By using formula in filmmaking we are admitting that film is not art.

What inspires me is when I see something and I say, "I can do that too!"

I always knew that I wanted to be a writer. I think I was six or seven when I learned how to read, and I still remember it.

I...will never...regret you.

As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.

Every time we pray our horizon is altered our attitude to things is altered not sometimes but every time and the amazing thing is that we don't pray more.

For writers, so much is done in isolation. It can be easy to feel detached, or to get a little lost along the way.

Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity.

At least once a week, I try to have one day where I have nothing planned so I can get up and just go back to bed and lay around and recharge my batteries.

I think that one can seek a way to eliminate war, and still agree that fighting the Nazis was a good thing.

If you have to ask for something more than once or twice, it wasn't yours in the first place. And that's hard to accept when you love someone.

Have you ever been so melancholy, that you wanted to fit in the palm of your beloved's hand? And lie there, for fortnights, or decades, or the length of time between stars? In complete silence?

Every Christian a missionary; every non-Christian a mission-field.
