During the entire process of making this film I never thought about whom I was making it for. I always thought that the film was for me, but I didn't think of any of that. I just did what I thought I had to do. I didn't think, "This is what children are going to think" or "This is what adults will understand."
Alex Abreu

I am quite a positive man in real life. In fact, even when I have a hard discussion with somebody, it lasts only five minutes. Then I forget. And I forgive everything. But at the same time, as I am such an easygoing guy, to create something more intense, I have to be auto-destructive on the making of a film. And this will guarantee some density.
Albert Serra

'Coraline' is Neil Gaiman's book, it sold a lot, it has a big fan base. It was originally conceived to be live action, but I never really wanted it to be. I always thought that it would work better as an animated film.
Henry Selick

We spoke English in the film, which is not difficult for me. I studied English in school and in Spain. I can think in English as well as French, although I think differently in each language. Every French word has a history for me. Each has many inflections and nuances which I must consider before I use it. English is new. I don't worry about the nuances. I go directly to the idea. I try to communicate with the camera without wasting time on the meaning of the words themselves
Valérie Quennessen

Directing first film was terrified, it was really very scary because there is a lot of responsibility. I think I was terrified because I wanted it to work so much. A lot of actors direct movies but I thought the stakes were kind of higher for me because I really, really cared. I just worked as hard as I possibly could on every single thing, every single day. I said that if this failed it would not be because I didn't work as hard as I possibly could...every day.
Ben Affleck

Rob Zombie
