- I like to work in a space where anything is possible, creating worlds that are alive and mutating, like in a dream.
- My job as an artist is to listen, to understand and interpret the vision and the needs of the story as faithfully as possible.
- I bounce back and forth between European culture and Hollywood pop culture.
- On his childhood: We were constantly surrounded by art. It was normal for us on the weekends to create little stop-motion films or build miniature worlds out of cardboard. Nik [my brother] and I often created little theater plays with self-made puppets, or shot short films on a VHS camera. For us it was all just one big playground, and we never stopped playing, even today. We just professionalized it.
- My goal is to use computer software like a painter uses a brush on canvas, with the kind of artistic freedom that requires artistic and technical skills to be on the same level.
