I didn't go to the cinemas a lot as a kid.

Kids want you to take them to whatever kid movie is opening, and you just hope it's good because you're going to buy a ticket, no matter what. If it's no good, you kind of drape your arm over your kid so they don't get smashed, and you take a little nap.

Children's finger-painting came under the arts, but movies didn't.

One thing I always heard from the begining when I talked about this being a movie - was that the rule is that animated movies don't work unless they're Disney movies for kids. Unless they're family movies.

They are always very lax about putting restrictions on violence for children's movies, which I think is much more harrowing than sexuality for children.

Well, everyone likes movies when they're a little kid.

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.

A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.

Doing a kid's movie is fun when you have kids. You don't want to do kids' movies if you don't have kids. When you have kids, things change in your life.
