More quotes by Henry Selick
Having to make a blockbuster every time puts unhealthy pressure on creatives. The pressure on the filmmakers is so intense, I think it stifles the creativity.
Henry Selick
We are suffering from a glut of too many 3-D movies and not enough screens.
Henry Selick
There's very few people who want to just make beautiful films that make money when they can make films that make huge money.
Henry Selick
There's definitely the desire out there for young people who want to make the movies.

I'm looking at some comedic horror films because I have often been accused of being too dark. I'm not dark, not compared with 'Saw' or anything like that. So I'm looking at live-action horror films, but not slasher ones - ones that have humor and maybe some social satire.
Henry Selick
People spend the money where the money is. Nightmare never goes away.
Henry Selick
I feel I'm just meant to do stop-motion. Live-action is much more glamorous to some, but it's basically a whole army of people focused on one thing.
Henry Selick
I'm not a public enough persona to be big and loud at the front of the ship. I'd rather more quietly interact with the artisan animators.

'Coraline' is Neil Gaiman's book, it sold a lot, it has a big fan base. It was originally conceived to be live action, but I never really wanted it to be. I always thought that it would work better as an animated film.
Henry Selick
What I personally gravitate toward tends to be fantasy, medium dark - not too dark - fairy tales and sci fi. Stop-motion takes something on the page thats really dark and adds a little sweetness to it, a living toys realm.

This Golden Globe nomination is sweet validation for the years of hard work it took to bring Coraline to life using stop-motion animation with the greatest crew of animators, artists, and technicians I've ever been privileged to work with. I share this nomination with all of them and we all share our thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press.

Miyazaki's films in Japan are bigger than Titanic. He's an incredible rock star there. In the US, they don't do as well.
Henry Selick
There's always kids who become stop motion animators. I get stuff all the time. They put it on YouTube. It's exciting to see.
Henry Selick
It's nice to be taken seriously.
