To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don't think is a good ride.
These wrestlers aren't organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There's a lot of drama there.
When I go to movies I generally want to be taken to another world.
As filmmakers, we can show where a person's mind goes, as opposed to theater, which is more to sit back and watch it.
Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.
At the end of Requiem all I wanted to do was get a DV camera and just do a small film. But then the hunger comes back.
