“Very few people have made the transition from animation to live-action...” — Henry Selick Quote

“Very few people have made the transition from animation to live-action; I'm certainly not one.”

“People are always telling me that boys won't go to girls' movies and vice versa. It's not true.”

“While I was making 'Coraline' I barely got to see any films at all, so I've got a lot of catching up to do.”

“In terms of writing characters or stories, at least initially, there's no difference between live-action and animation. A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.”

“I was working in cartoons. I could go to Comic-Con, buy the Hal Jordan ring, I could buy animation cels, but at the end of the day, I come back to an empty apartment. I had a life that was only around me, and when I was broken, my world was broken.”

“Animation is incredibly difficult - much like doing a giant sweeping fantasy novel.”
