I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.

I'm thankful to be breathing, on this side of the grass. Whatever comes, comes.

I love great animation.

It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
