Live action movies are someone else's story. With animation, audiences can't think that. Their guards are down.
The question I get more than any other is, 'What does it mean to direct an animated film?' And the reality is that it's not a whole lot different from what you do in live action.
I only think in live action.
Going into live action, the perception I had was that to be a director, you had to be loud, you had be physically fit, wear cool hats, have a beard, and yell, 'Action!' really loud. And I'm none of those things.
I don't know how to do a show not in front of a live audience.
The first time I played in front of a live audience, I realised I wanted to be a musician. I was about four years old and had always liked music.
I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience.
I've never not appeared in front of a live audience for any longer period than a month or two.
It's hard not to be affected by the live audience.
The only thing I miss from the sitcom format is that immediate gratification of when you're, if we're talking about comedy, of the live audience.
Being out there in a high-pressure situation with a live audience and a live TV camera on you, it brings something out.
I'm usually pretty good in front of a live audience. I usually like that.
Pretty much every time I try something different or do something in front of a live audience, I truly think they might throw peanuts at me.
If I live to be 90, and I'm planning to, I'll always love performing for a live audience.
I continue to do standup because there's a connection with a live audience - there are skills that you do learn as a standup comedian that help you on a set.
I love the rehearsal process in the theatre, and the visceral sense of contact and communication with a live audience.
I love those who do not know how to live for today.
We shouldn't just live for today; we should prepare for tomorrow.
We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
It's not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.
