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.

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.

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.

And if my heart be scarred and burned, The safer, I, for all I learned.

Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it's been an amazing experience. But I'm not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.

I'm just thankful that even at a young age, I got to experience something like 'X Factor, ' and I got to meet enough people just to know that I needed to be patient until the right deal came around.

People are responsible adults at home. Why do we suddenly transform them into adolescents with no freedom when they reach the workplace?

Peppo!" I yelled, pulling at my cousin's suspenders. "I really don't want to be arrested, okay?" "Don't worry!" Peppo turned a corner and accelerated as he spoke. "I go too fast for police!

Unrequited love made right is the ultimate, isn’t it?

There's no reason to speak. I have nothing to say.

The affairs of music ought, somehow, to terminate in the love of the beautiful.

One of the reasons I think Barack Obama had the policy he did was purposely to create this flood of refugees from Syria. He wanted them!

I will try to win the Olympics gold in London.
