It's Nice To Be Taken Seriously.

It's Nice To Be Taken Seriously.

Miyazaki's Films In Japan Are Bigger Than Titanic. He's An Incredible Rock Star There. In The Us, They Don't Do As Well.

There's Very Few People Who Want To Just Make Beautiful Films That Make Money When They Can Make Films That Make Huge Money.

I Love The Culture Of Animation. What Stop-motion Has In Common With Live-action Is That It Has Many Of The Same Departments. There's Hair, Costume, Makeup In The Form Of Paint, Gaffers, Electricians. So There's The Same Sense Of Real Stuff, Real Light. But It's Not Like Everything Happens At Once, Like It Does In Live-action. It's All Subdivided Into These Small Sets. It's Where My Strengths Are. Live-action Is Just An Utterly Different World, And I'm Not A Public Enough Persona To Be Big And Loud At The Front Of The Ship. I'd Rather More Quietly Interact With The Artisan Animators.

I'm Supporting An Up-and-coming Director. It's The Time In My Life That I Want To Share What I Know And Pass It Along.
