No One Is Asking What

There Are A Million Ideas In A World Of Stories. Humans Are Storytelling Animals. Everything's A Story, Everyone's Got Stories, We're Perceiving Stories, We're Interested In Stories. So To Me, The Big Nut To Crack Is To How To Tell A Story, What's The Right Way To Tell A Particular Story.

I Worked Offshore As An Oil Worker For A Couple Of Years.

If The Animators Could Hide Something So Secretly That I Could Watch It Numerous Times, Both On The Computer And On The Screen, And Not Pick Up On It, Then It Deserves To Be In The Movie. But If They Had More Overt Things, I'd Often Tell Them To Cut It Out. In General, As Long As They Captured The Spirit Of The Character, Then They're Fine. But Sometimes It Took A While, And We Had To Replace A Lot Of Animators.

Everything That You Could Think About In Life, Or Experience, Or Be Interested In, Theoretically Should Be Expressed Or Dealt With In Cinema. But The Way Typical Narratives Are Set Up, There's No Room For Philosophy, Because It's Just Digressive Material. It's Not Advancing The Plot, So There's No Place For It. It's The Kind Of Stuff You Would Cut Out, And That You Shouldn't Have Put In There To Begin With.

I'm Lucky That I Get To Jump Around, Do A Big-budget Comedy And Then A Smaller Film. I Don't Even Make A Big Distinction Between Them. No One Believes This, But It's The Same. I'm The Same Person, Trying To Make It Work. I Just Love Being On A Movie Set. I Like Making Movies.
