“The one thing about Walt was that he was always pushing you to do better.”

“Cruella was a fun one. I'd never done a character like that before. She had to be a monster, and I had to find a way to make her believable.”

“Tinker Bell was a challenge because she didn't speak. All of her acting had to be done through pantomime.”

“Drawing is the most important thing. If you can't draw, you can't be an animator.”

“Maleficent was another great character to work on. She had this wonderful elegance and a real sense of evil.”

“You can't do anything with a character that is not well-conceived. If it's not in the story, it's not on the screen.”

“I've always been interested in the human figure, in the way it moves and the way it expresses emotion.”

“You have to be a little bit of a showman and a little bit of an actor. You have to be a little bit of a writer, a little bit of a musician. You have to be a little bit of everything.”

“The story is the most important thing. If you don't have a good story, you don't have anything.”

“Animation is a young medium. And young mediums don't have a grammar yet. What I'm trying to do is find a grammar.”
