I think more money can be very detrimental to movies and TV because things get solved economically rather than creatively, and that's never a good solution.
So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
I think with a lot of filmmakers, their first film is their best film because they had to think on their feet and solve problems with ingenuity.
I don't like people being cautious and tentative and choosing their words carefully around me because I'm a dwarf.
I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.
It's amazing what they can do with animation nowadays. It's really beautiful. The 3D stuff is out of hand.
I've been to Sundance before, but I'd never seen a lot of screenings.
I should call people back more readily. I'm not the best friend sometimes in terms of that. I do follow that white balloon and get distracted a lot.
I have a need to always make people laugh. I have a desperate need. I love a great sense of humor. The people I sort of surround myself with have that.
A lot of directors straight out of film school are very technically minded, but they don't have an understanding of actors or how to talk to them.
