What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion a shadow a story. And the greatest good is little enough for all life is a dream and dreams themselves are only dreams.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

I almost fainted. There was no family history. I had been eating a vegetarian diet and I exercised.

I think violence cynicism brutality and fashion are the staples of our diet. I think in the grand history of story-telling going back to people sitting around fires the dark side of human nature has always been very important. Movies are part of that tradition.

In any case his judgment and set of values acting alone or through his assistants determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant and what is not.

I love graphic design. I love working with design and I love storytelling so I've been working on a children's book for a while and I'd like to see that through.

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face but the traditional animation was spectacular.

The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story actors music and camera design. When it works it can entertain move people and teach us all.

I was a cartoonist when I was at university but I decided to go into movie making knowing that I could still draw by doing movies design work story boards and such.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design but what's missing is the eyebrows.
