His earliest influences?
“Talking with my father is my first memory, he shaped my philosophy. Also, cartoons every day…and Lassie and Flipper. Flipper—I was a very big fan.”
The man who created some of the most vibrant characters around doubts himself:
“I have no sense of color. I know that.”
He is not political:
“I am an artist. I don’t have any responsibility for politics.”
Anonymous artists?
“Banksy is very cool. The opposite of me. I am very jealous.”
He’s emotional:
“Every time I see my movie I cry. Every time.”
