Shrek is not like anything anybody has ever seen before.

I know what we do really well - I just try and keep us focused on doing that.

The thing that's changed the most has just been the rapid technology.

Every single thing you see on-screen came out of somebody's creativity. It doesn't exist. Nature didn't deliver it to us. Everything had to be dreamed.

The entire exhibitions industry in the United States of America has filed for bankruptcy.

Inspiration comes from all different places.

Shrek is not like anything anybody has ever seen before.

It was the business that made Pop go away, not our inability to create.

I have a very difficult time getting the Napster world.

Since we made Shrek in the digital format, you actually can see it in its purest form digitally.

What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.

You can tell when an actor or actress cares about their work. It's really clear.

A company like DreamWorks, all we do is make product. That's all we do. We don't own distribution. We are purely in the creation of content.

I haven't got a lot of patience.

I love to look at The Graduate, or Lawrence of Arabia, or things I had nothing to do with. But you could not get me to go back and watch movies that it was a privilege just to be around them when they were being made.

When you're dealing with clay animation, people forget that every single set is built to scale and by hand.

Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.

You never know what doors are going to open up and why they are going to open up. You've got to be ready to walk through them.

War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.

We're a pretty open-book family; we kind of lead with our hearts. There's nothing to hide.

I would not have lasted a minute, literally a minute, on this Earth without God and angels by my side, because I was born. And right as I was born, I went into a respiratory arrest. So, big things that keep me going are friends and family, God. And another thing is looking forward to what's going to happen tomorrow.

I've loved music always, and my music fire was lit by Elvis Presley, really, and all that was happening back then.

My dream role is Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion.

I think that Scottish people, like Canadians, are often misunderstood and what I like about my Scottish friends and relatives is how quickly it can go from love to anger. It's a great dynamic.

Build upon strengths, and weaknesses will gradually take care of themselves.

Those who own much have much to fear.

I live for myself and I answer to nobody.

We have a problem. Congratulations. But its a tough problem. Then double congratulations.

I'm into the idea of responsibility and edification and these things have found me and I have found them. I wanted to be in the movie and I made it known to Mike.

I have always felt that this story is universal. When I began to understand the details of the history, I felt that the most compelling aspect was not what happened, but what continues to happen and how it is denied.

If we just focus on stats, we're gonna eventually not have them.

Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.

Well, we are not doing that film actually. At least I am not at the moment, but we are making an effort to get it done; I don't know whether we'll get the financing for it. The old story we had it, it fell out of place and this and that.

I'm done with my job. It was my job to be the advocate and spokesman for the President of the United States.

England is never in a hurry because she is eternal.

With pencil, you can always erase.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.
