I Like To Rehearse With The Actors Scenes That Are Not In The Script And Will Not Be In The Film Because What We're Really Doing Is Trying To Establish Their Character, And Good Acting To Me Is About Reacting.

One Of Our Favorite Joe Strummer Quotes Was, "no Input, No Output." Meaning, We're Going To Hear A Band, We're Going To Go To A Museum, Or We're Going To Go Hang Out With Some Writer That We Admire.

I Like That Cartoons Are Now Not Only Animated Drawings, They Are A Way Of Doing Something: 'that Song Sounds Very Cartoony', Or 'he Has A Cartoon Face'.
