"I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue.

"Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear."
"I am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work."
