• Animation, for me, is a wonderful art form. I never understood why the studios wanted to stop making animation. Maybe they felt that the audiences around the world only wanted to watch computer animation. I didn't understand that, because I don't think ever in the history of cinema did the medium of a film make that film entertaining or not. What I've always felt is, what audiences like to watch are really good movies.

I think that eventually we'll use both of them but we need to get started right away and the cap-and-trade is a proven and effective tool.

• American television is a huge product that is exported around the world and what that means is that what our movies and films say about who women [are] has global ramifications.

You have to be responsible and be aware of the message that you are sending out.
