I feel like animation's stagnant. There's not much that's trying to push the artform, and so, for me, I'm way too critical about it.

Storytelling has changed. Shows like 'Adventure Time' have taken storytelling in a different direction.

I had done it all in my career. I always felt, as a kid, that that's what a director needed to be. Hitchcock could do anything in my mind. He's the director. That person has to be the best actor, the best designer, the best cinematographer. Then I came to realize that isn't the case. You just need to surround yourself with the best.

I was really fortunate in my career where I always had executives who were very like-minded.

We have this rule in our marriage, there's no such thing as 50/50. Somebody is always putting in more.

I've always admired gardens. My father was a great nature lover and would always take me for walks. We lived not too far away from huge rhododendron estates and azalea estates, and when they're in bloom in England, they're just riotous.

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.

In my mind, marriage is a spiritual partnership and union in which we willingly give and receive love, create and share intimacy, and open ourselves to be available and accessible to another human being in order to heal, learn and grow.
