Quote

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.

I always felt that Hollywood has a way of making you feel outside.

I get so tired of people saying, 'Oh, you only make fantasy films and this and that', and I'm like, 'Well no, fantasy is reality', that's what Lewis Carroll showed in his work.

Don't worry about how you 'should' draw it. Just draw it the way you see it.

I always liked strange characters.

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

I try not to go back in retrospect and say oh, I shouldn't have done this or shouldn't have done that. You make your decisions and you live by them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's very nice to have someone that you can have a completely abstract conversation with and leave the room, feel like everything's fine, and then realize that if you pick it apart, you have absolutely no idea what either of you said.

Even if you're doing something that the studio sends you, or something that's based on a book or story, at the end of it all, you try to make whatever it is your own. This is based on my love of horror movies. Everything is based on something, in some way.

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.

I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.

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

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

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.

I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.

I grew up watching monster movies and horror movies, which I felt were like fairy tales and I think this always spoke to me. Something about that is symbolism - the beauty and the magic which helps me work with film and start making modern fairy tales.
