“I like stories that exist both in the naturalistic world and in our imaginative lives, films are so immersive in that sense, we can explore how our characters think and dream, as well as how they exist in the real world.” ThinkingWorldWellsRealCharacterStoriesDreamFilmReal WorldImaginative Author:Dave McKean
“Usually, the most difficult thing to do is photo-real stuff. Something that has to actually look like the real world, because it's just so difficult to do that. We're just so used to looking at the real world, our brains instantly see when something is not quite right.” WorldLooksRealUsedStuffDifficultBrainThings To DoReal WorldDifficult ThingsReal Stuff Author:Dave McKean
“When you just get fantasy stories that are about fairies or goblins, I just don't care. I'm never going to meet a goblin, it doesn't mean anything to me. So my definition of fantasy is very broad, it's anything to do with memory, or dreams, or ways of interpreting or making sense of the world.” WorldWayMeanStoriesDreamCareMemoriesFantasyDefinitionsDon't CareMake SenseFairyBroadsInterpretingGoblinFantasy Stories Author:Dave McKean
“There is nobody who is good or bad, it's just not like that. They all are complex individuals. They all see the world in their own way that makes complete sense to them. Nobody goes around feeling that they're evil - they think that they're doing the right thing. And so that seems to have something really important, big, and deep to say about human beings.” ThinkingWorldWayHumansImportantFeelingsBigsSeemsEvilIndividualHuman BeingsComplexesRight ThingDoing The Right Thing Author:Dave McKean
