A different script calls for different things. It always takes me a long time to get to know the part, and know the logic behind the words. I have to be with the script for quite a long time before things start to fall into place, before they become part of the character.

Well, first of all, you read the script a million times. Because what the script gives you are given circumstances. Given circumstances are all the facts of your character.

I guess, as a director, you sort of take the script, and you find ways to interpret it.

Animation scripts tend to be much more descriptive and are lighter on dialogue.

These things are hard to pin down. We work on a script a bit, then work on a different one.

The key is, if you're not monkeying around with the script, then everything usually goes pretty well.

I created the characters from what I read in the script. I decided how I should talk, accent, no accent, my own voice, or a created voice. Then, I visualize what I should look like.

I feel character description from a book can mislead you and actually make you fall off course when you're representing a character using a script.

For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.'
