“I was trying to make a film that would be pure, absolute, and without any story.”

“What happens between each frame is more important than what happens on each frame.”

“Animation is the art of manipulating the invisible interstices between frames.”

“The only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.”

“If you get a new idea, you should try it immediately, while it's fresh.”

“Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.”

“My main interest is in the pure art of movement.”

“In animation, you can do anything.”

“Every film is a puzzle. The thing is to make it a puzzle that is fun to solve.”
