You don't know whether chimps are going to kill you or kiss you. They're very open on some levels and much more evil in a certain way.

When we were growing up and saw a Ray Harryhausen movie, we were interested in how it was done. But thank God we got to go through the magic of seeing it before we knew how it was done. You were able to get this beautiful, pure, visceral response to something without knowing too much 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.

It's hard to find logic in things sometimes. That's why I can't analyze things too much, because it often doesn't make much sense.

My name is Jimmy, but my friends just call me the hideous penguin boy.

Maybe it's just in America, but it seems that if you're passionate about something, it freaks people out. You're considered bizarre or eccentric. To me, it just means you know who you are.

The good thing about animation is that you can affect it. If something is not working, then you just fix it.

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.

The Boy with Nails in His Eyes put up his aluminum tree. It looked pretty strange because he couldn't really see.

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.

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.

Image
I'm a happy-go-lucky manic-depressive. It does get very deep and dark for me, and it gets scary at times when I feel I can't pull out of it. But I don't consider myself negative-negative. I'm positive-negative.

There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.

I always liked strange characters.

I always said that I'm not into mass-marketing things. If there's one thing that looks cool, that's fine by me. I'm not interested in a whole bunch of stuff.

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

People always think I get really good reviews, but I don't. That's why I don't go on the Internet much - because you can go down a dark hole looking at stuff. Once, I clicked on my name and freaked out. It's too bizarre, it's too weird, it's too unsettling.

That's what I always loved about [Federico] Fellini's films: You see the weird joy of the weird filmmaking family and the abstract craziness that goes along with it, and there's something about it that's quite beautiful.
