To have a film where there’s an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that’s one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it’s not very pleasant to draw evil figures.

Positivity is like a muscle: keep exercising it, and it becomes a habit.

Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
Filmmaking is not a one man show. It is not like I’m thinking something and they are expressing it. I try to pull the actor in and together we try to get the expression. It is not my thinking alone, it is our thinking. The actor also becomes a part of the thought process.
Every day it becomes clearer that this was the wrong war at the wrong time.
