For me, animation is the caricature of life. It's something that we create, from the ground up.
Everything that I've ever done is not really based on reality, it's the caricature of reality, which is what's really exciting.

The point of mathematics is that in it we have always got rid of the particular instance, and even of any particular sorts of entities. So that for example, no mathematical truths apply merely to fish, or merely to stones, or merely to colours.
