“How could I be doing Tristan & Isolde when this guy does this? I came here to see the opening night of Star Wars, and I sat there, I was depressed for three months.”

“"It worked in so many ways, but one of the things personally [that] was so inspiring [was] how it entertained an audience to a new level... The quality of the storytelling, where it's one foot in sort of the past and one foot in the future, I was so impressed by that. I came out and said, 'That's what I want to do with animation.'"”
