Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.

Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.

We all know interspecies romance is weird.

And in that one grey hair I saw my whole life and I said I think I need a hair.

I like the challenge of doing things you know that you maybe shouldn't do.

I always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.

Johnny Depp is somebody I really love working with because he doesn't care how he looks. He wants to become weird characters and I like that.

If you want people to leave you alone then appearing to be crazy is a good thing. If you're walking down the street talking to yourself people tend to give you a wide berth! But I've always been blessed with being easily ignored or avoided. I think maybe it's because people think I look a little crazy.

3D is great, but I just think of it as another tool, like colour or music or sound. It has the potential to add another emotional layer to certain things if you use it right. But it's not the saviour [of the movies], the be all and end all, the reason to do something.

When it comes to art and science, people don't like a lot of either. Instead of being open to it, they're closed off about it.

I think the thing is that you're very affected by your early life, and I think that if you ever had that feeling of outsider, or loneliness or whatever, it just doesn't leave you. You can be happy and successful, whatever, but I think that thing stays inside of you. It doesn't ever really leave you. You kind of always will have that.

I think of Ray Harryhausen's work - I knew his name before I knew any actor or director's names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that's what made me interested in animation: His work.

It's like getting into film - I didn't say early on, 'I'm going to become a filmmaker,' 'I'm going to show my work at MoMA.' When you start to think those things, you're in trouble.

Staring Girl I once knew a girl who would just stand there and stare. At anyone or anything, she seemed not to care She'd stare at the ground, She'd stare at the sky. She'd stare at you for hours, and you'd never know why. But after winning the local staring contest, she finally gave her eyes a well-deserved rest.

I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.

Good morning starshine the earth says hello.

I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.

I don't look at my films or my old drawings much, so that was an interesting way to kind of reconnect with myself a bit.

I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.
