I'm a fan of the western genre. When I see a character actor, I see a whole movie behind a scene before and after. There's a whole other movie behind it.

I think audiences ultimately want something new. I think the business model for a franchise is such that it's very low risk because you have data and studios love data.

Honestly, every person, every individual has a process, and my philosophy, whether it's an actor or an animator, is you try to understand the process that person has so you can get the most out of them, but I think you have to sort of manipulate that process with honesty.

I think you can never ever lie, ever. If you don't know, say, 'I don't know'.

My respect for animators and animation directors has gone way, way up and it is just not something you can phone in.

I think when you get people who are really talented and you take them out of their comfort zone, you get a lot more out of them.
