I think what I reacted to so strongly when I first saw 'Pinocchio' was that I identified with the character so strongly. The movie takes you on a whole journey, a rollercoaster of emotions, and that sometimes means some very scary places. But in the end, it comes out okay.

When we were kids, I know when I saw 'Pinocchio' it had a huge impact. I was ten years old, and I went home, and I was drawing the characters.

When I was growing up in the Philippines, the story that was read to me most was Pinocchio.

I could have made a small film and kept all the money from 'Life is Beautiful'. Instead, I spent more money than I had on 'Pinocchio', a very risky film.

I actually felt like I was starting a new career as a news reporter while playing in 'Pinocchio.'

It was actually after I saw 'Pinocchio' that I thought I might try and work in that industry in some way.

I just always loved pinball.

It's very good for me to remember what actors go through.

For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors.

I have very happy memories of fairy tales. My mother used to take me to the library in Toronto to check out the fairy tales. And she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.
