People Are Very Harsh Critics

Having To Make A Blockbuster Every Time Puts Unhealthy Pressure On Creatives. The Pressure On The Filmmakers Is So Intense, I Think It Stifles The Creativity.

'coraline' Is Neil Gaiman's Book, It Sold A Lot, It Has A Big Fan Base. It Was Originally Conceived To Be Live Action, But I Never Really Wanted It To Be. I Always Thought That It Would Work Better As An Animated Film.

I Have More Faith In Doing Something Creative For A Cable Station Or Something Like Yahoo Or Google Or Amazon. What Netflix Did With 'house Of Cards' And David Fincher Was Brilliant. That Is Inspiring To Me. I Think There Is More Chance For Creativity In Animation, It Just Hasn't Happened There Yet.

People Spend The Money Where The Money Is. Nightmare Never Goes Away.

I Get Rewarded Virtually Every Day With Something Amazing To See - Whether It's A New Shot, A Miniature Sweater, Someone Who's Figured Out How To Make The Hair Look Really Great. We Found A Way To Do The Rain, Finally. And Mud. Make The Trees. So I Get To Stay In Constant Motion As A Director, You Know, Reviewing Things. And There's A Lot To Review.
