I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

I love animals and I love to see movies with animals that are done respectfully, you know?

I sometimes think it's better to go with a bad movie that is true to a certain point of view than to take something and make people try to like it when they're not supposed to.

You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.

I'm always frightened away by movies that lower the bar on our endeavor to learn more about the crazy weird creatures that we are.

There was a time when watching a cartoon was a nurturing experience. You would watch a Warner Bros. cartoon, and at the end of it you could probably win 'Jeopardy.'
