“ People think of animation only doing things where people are dancing around and doing a lot of histrionics, but animation is not a genre. And people keep saying, “The animation genre.” It`s not a genre! A Western is a genre! Animation is an art form, and it can do any genre. You know, it can do a detective film, a cowboy film, a horror film, an R-rated film or a kids` fairy tale. But it doesn`t do one thing. And, next time I hear, “What`s it like working in the animation genre?” I`m going to punch that person!

“ Film is forever; pain is temporary.
