There's a roughness and a surprising nature to most B movies that you don't get in classic films-something more immediate. I never chose those movies to leave impressions in my brain, they just did.
I felt quite connected with Carlos before I met him.
There's just something visceral about moving a puppet frame by frame. There's a magical quality about it. Maybe you can get smoother animation with computers, but there's a dimension and emotional quality to this kind of animation that fits these characters and this story.
I happened to be listening to David Bowie's 'Heroes,' ... That, and a colleague in Austria was teaching heroism to Americans - how we spend lots of time discussing heroism.
It's two thirds cheaper than other animated films. As animated films go this is low budget.
He's basically a great character actor in a leading man's body. He's always kept that integrity. To me, it's something I find that's really amazing in this business.
With other people she can play humans. With me, it's completely non-human characters.
I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.
I feel any time you enter a dream world it's like you're working out things, it's all inside your mind and you're working it out, be it Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, or the kids in Narnia, they go through this weird journey that's not real, and they're going through this journey psychologically. It's that journey of discovery, of getting onself together, that fantasy and fairy tales are so good at. And while some people still look upon them as completely unrealistic, for me they're more real than most things that are perceived as real.
Don't worry about how you 'should' draw it. Just draw it the way you see it.
Every day is Halloween, isnt it? For some of us…
I'm gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world.
People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.
