That's Why I Never Became A Director.

I Still Go To The Conventions, And I Like To Hear The Point Of View Of People Today. I'm A Little Afraid They're Being Brainwashed By This New Pop-culture. I Think It's Not Really Elevating Our Lives Like It Did In The Good Old Days Of Hollywood, Where You Had A Happy Ending. They Used To Criticize Happy Endings, But Really, What's The Point Of Going To A Film If You Have To Come Out Hating Your Fellow Man?

If You Make Things Too Real, Sometimes You Bring It Down To The Mundane.

Today, They Make Films Where You Have To Sit For An Hour And A Half And Watch Somebody In The Process Of Dying And, For Me, That's Rather Depressing. Films, In The Good Old Days Of The Golden Age Of Hollywood, Used To Want To Inspire People And Give Them Uplift. You're Paying Good Money To See A Film, And You Don't Want To Leave Depressed!

Animation Requires A Great Deal Of Concentration, And I Preferred To Work Alone Because Then I'm Not Deterred By Somebody Asking Me If I Want Coffee, Or The Phone Ringing Or Something.

You Could Believe That Sinbad Could Fight A Skeleton Because That's From A Period In The Past, A Magical Period. But If You Had James Bond Fighting A Skeleton, It'd Be Almost Comical.
