People spend the money where the money is. Nightmare never goes away.

I feel I'm just meant to do stop-motion. Live-action is much more glamorous to some, but it's basically a whole army of people focused on one thing.

It's nice to be taken seriously.

I'm supporting an up-and-coming director. It's the time in my life that I want to share what I know and pass it along.

People are very harsh critics of animated humans.

I do not believe in equality of results. I believe in "equal opportunity" and "equality before the law".

Do not mistake a child for his symptom.

I inherited that calm from my father, who was a farmer. You sow, you wait for good or bad weather, you harvest, but working is something you always need to do.

If you're lucky enough to be raised in a rich family, good. But learn how to respect that luck. It's not a given, you know? It's not like, 'Well, it's normal'. No, it's not normal. It's lucky.

Because we all share an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that anybody we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister.

Money power means budget power and it is folly to imagine that the citizen can control government unless he can control its budget.

Everybody loses a couple, and you either pack it up and go home or you keep on fighting.

We are the generation that came of age in an ageless society.

Sincerity is the most compendious wisdom.
