When you work on these films for so long and so intensely, when you get to the end of them, suddenly there's nothing to do.

You hope, when you're working on these things, that people love them whether it makes a lot of money or not.

In the end it's about the work, not an award you get for the work.

As animation directors, you're the first one on the film; you're the last one off, and you get to learn from and touch every department throughout the whole journey. I don't know any other job in the world that's like that. I don't think live-action is like that. It's a very different sort of experience.

I'm a huge fan of dystopian films. I collect them in my brain.

You do get really exhausted doing films. You work such long hours, and after a while, things can get out of perspective, just like if anyone's tired, things get on top of them.
