• Films are born from screenplays and they are guided by words. They are born very limited and there is no space for real creation: graphic creation, pictorial creation, or audiovisual creation. If we really want to use the art of animation with all its strength, we have to rethink the processes by which it's made because the medium is the message.

• Each film has its processes. It doesn't mean that all animated films have to be like "Boy and the World," but creators have to have total freedom. There are films that are born with the purpose to sell. They are still admirable films with great artists and great visuals, but we wanted to use a more radical approach to create art. That's what we tried to do.

• If I would had been born years earlier, I would have been in all the Westerns. It's just the way that the industry goes.

I absolutely accept it. In every respect, fantasy is like doing abstract paintings.

• In order to dance professionally, you have to start at a young age. No matter what, your muscle structure and your bones have to be groomed from a very young age.
