I think one of the reasons I love science fiction so much is that it's - when it's ideally done right, it's a reflection on ourselves.

I'd love to start some movements. What I'm tired of is irony, and sarcasm, and music/movies/what have you, not having the guts to mean anything.

The only purpose of the visuals, in any film, is to serve the story.

To be animating at the same time, it's the ultimate freedom in filmmaking because you can literally put anything on the screen that you can imagine.

Usually the more money that something takes to make, the less interesting it's forced to become.

Maybe the most annoying questions is: "Where do you see yourself in so many years?" It's a terrifying answer no matter how you think of it.

Most people's personalities and roles are locked by the time they're nine or 10. I think there's something to that.

Tuesday's coming, did you bring your coat?

There's really no reason film and digital can't happily co-exist and benefit from one another. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to sell you something.

No matter what decade science fiction comes from, it's representing the present.

I'm still learning. I've never done a digital project before. And I'm pretty sure I did things to the software that weren't supposed to be done.

You get old, you slow down.

What do you do with what you're given, and how do you transform it into something worthwhile?

I would go to war with Dhoni by my side.

I never smoked a cigarette until I was nine.

A quiet mediocrity is still to be preferred before a troubled superfluity.

Off camera, I am not so quiet, I have a fun time, relaxed.

Fox would hire me in a minute. And believe it or not, CNN would, too.

Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?

Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.
