- [When asked about the possibly of a Live Action Swan Princess movie remake.] Well actually that is not true yet, and the reason why yet, is I have to rally all my fans, for the Swan Princess to go on Facebook and Instagram and whatever social media and sign up for the newsletter. So that we can gather everybody together to push our distributor off the fence to do Swan Princess live action cause that's my ambition.
- [When asked about how The Swan Princess 1994 film was made.] This is how true artistry is done, in creating animated films. Fully hand painted, hand drawn, and backgrounds, all hand painted. And then shot with a unique camera, and moments of the camera, the moments of the cels, and made this an unbelievable process, it took us 300 artists 4 years to produce this film. And nearly a million paintings, drawings, and backgrounds to do.
- [When asked about giving advice for getting into the animation industry.] Okay the first one you've got to pull your emotions up. And then not let that emotion fade. If you have passion for film making, you go after it and don't let people tell you no. Don't let people tell you it's too competitive. You find your passion and what you dream of and you push forward. I did it without any film career, any film education whatsoever, and I produced over a hundred films.
