You know, I love stop-motion. I've done almost all the styles of animation: I was a 2D animator. I've done cutout animation. I did a CG short a few years ago, 'Moongirl,' for young kids. Stop-motion is what I keep coming back to, because it has a primal nature. It can never be perfect.

I started to do stop-motion when I was a kid. You take a Super 8 and make some models, and move, click, move, click. All that. I love all forms of animation, but there is something unique and special to stop-motion: it's more real and the set is lit like a set. But I think it's also a kind of lonely and dark thing to want to do.

What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.

I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting.

I've loved all forms of animation.

I have to admit to not being the greatest technician, but stop motion animation gives me licence to create machines that wouldn't otherwise be possible - inventions that seem real and actually work.

I've always loved animation and animated films.

Animation has completely changed, and I've always been a big fan.

I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.

I learned how to do stop-frame animation and I experimented with that a lot, and pretty much that was my mode of animating through high school.
