The only way to keep a dream, any dream at all, to keep a dream perfect and rosy and intact and unsullied is never to live it out. the moment you carry out any of your dreams or your fantasies - travel around the world, climbing a high mountain, buying a new house, writing a novel, carrying out a sexual fantasy, traveling to an unknown country - the moment you carry out your dreams, it's always, by definition less perfect and rosy than it had been as a dream. this is the nature of dreams.

I think animation is a very truthful way to express your thoughts, because the process is very direct. that's what i've always liked about animation, particularly abstract animation. you go from the idea to execution, straight from your brain. it's like when you hear someone playing an instrument, and you feel the direct connection between the instrument and his brain, because the instrument becomes an extension of his arms and fingers. it's like a scanner of the brain and thought process that you can watch, or hear.

My aim is to advocate that we make this mental switch in respect of our attitudes and practices towards a very large group of beings: members of species other than our own - or, as we popularly though misleadingly call them, animals. in other words, i am urging that we extend to other species the basic principle of equality that most of us recognize should be extended to all members of our own species.
