I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.

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.

I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.

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.

Image
I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.

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.

People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.

When you don’t have many friends and you don’t have a social life you’re kind of left looking at things, not doing things. There’s a weird freedom in not having people treat you like you’re part of society or where you have to fulfill social relationships.

But she knows she has a curse on her, a curse she cannot win. For if someone gets too close to her, the pins stick further in.

I always wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.

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.

Nobody had his [Ed Wood's] style. That's something I try to do in my films. You have your own kind of cryptic messages in there - cryptic things that most people wouldn't understand but are important to you. Things that kind of keep you going through the process.

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.

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.

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

There's something about taking a classic movie that people love and doing another version of that, you're setting yourself up for a mistake.

I have no idea what happens, but I do respond to other cultures that treat life with a much more positive approach. It teaches - especially when you're a child - it teaches you to be afraid of everything, you feel like something bad is always going to happen. As to where that other way seems a much more spiritual and positive approach.

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.

In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn't work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They're relying too much on the technology and not enough on the artists.
