Everything that I've ever done is not really based on reality, it's the caricature of reality, which is what's really exciting.
The computer is designed to mimic reality. And in an animated world, in my perspective, that's the worst thing to do. I want people to walk into a movie theater and be transported to a different world.
For me, animation is the caricature of life. It's something that we create, from the ground up.
Whenever you're doing two things at once, you're compromising them both.
The thing about any character is that you want to be sincere.
Trying to be a leader, you've got to be really sure of what you're doing and you've got to guide people the right way.
I'm a true fan of animation, and it's my livelihood. Live-action is secondary to me.
Watching a movie with an audience is so exciting. For me, coming from TV, you finish an episode and then it airs, and I'm at home. There's no gratification and there's no audience interaction with it.
If you don't believe your general, you're not going to go into battle knowing you're going to die.
