I want to take themes that are shared throughout the world, express them through animation, and make movies from them.

People have two sides, and a person first becomes appealing when you discover both of those sides - and worlds work exactly the same way.

With the assumption that animation is a medium for children, I want to make movies that reaffirm the future, and let them know that this world is a world worth living in.

I think of movies as depicting moments of change. Change is growth, and that change also possesses the same dynamism that movies do.

Usually, people tend to see someone on the surface and think that that's who that person is.

I think the inner and outer aspects of the self together make one person.

The process of producing a project is one long string of delight and anxiety, but I think the real thrill of animation would have to be drawing the pictures.

It struck me that when we read picture books to children, we parents, and people as a whole, do not appear in them very much, and that they are more constructed to be a world of children and animals.

By becoming a black belt, you will become whatever it is you wanted to be in the first place, and Jiu Jitsu will have served its aim.

I couldn't ignore the fact that it felt good. So. Very. Good. To be held, in bed, in the arms of a tall, strong, handsome man.

If America could get along with Russia, that's a positive thing.

Stop listening to people telling us we need to hate each other

I am confident that many people will find the New Testament alive in a new way after reading The Message.

I collect jewelry for a story - so something I got on a trip or something I got from my family. You know it always needs to have a meaning for me.

think about the way God rules. He doesn't do it by sending in the tanks. He does it by calling servants.

destructiveness comes only when life isn't lived. People who can live their lives don't destroy themselves.

Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.

The ball goes down the keeper's throat where it hits him on the knees to say the least.
