Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.

In any art movement, the art has to move into a new phase - a filmmaker has a desire to make a film that is not like a previous film.

Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new - for me, unique - in it.

Animation is manipulating the difference.

I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas.

Unless it's done superbly, as in the Japanese film Gate of Hell, color can be a very distracting element.

I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.

And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same.

By drawing or exposing two or more patterns on the same bit of film I can create harmony and textual effects.

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

So people will come along and do new things and sometimes return to the spirit of an earlier age.

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.

You don't need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.

A belief is not a belief until you can visualize it, unless you can create a picture of it in your minds eye, especially if you have no doubts that reality can be - or is - possible.

Blood is a powerful thing

The deeper and richer a personality is, the more full it is of paradox and contradiction. It is only a shallow character who offers us no problems of contrast.

Power is a companion it is not easy to part with, when it goes, the zest of life goes with it. With dry eyes and clenched fist, one stares after it, jealous of the next one it will single out.

Acting runs through my blood. There is some sort of creative desire to express myself and I would need that outlet. Otherwise I would be a nightmare to live with

Deepen and broaden your awareness of yourself and all the blessings will flow. You need not seek anything, all will come to you most naturally and effortlessly.

There are two fatal errors that keep great projects from coming to life: 1. Not finishing 2. Not starting.
