"I always try to find an organic — or analog — solution instead of the knee-jerk reaction to use computer graphics. The reason for this is: every time I try this, I get some delightful result that is,in some respects unexpected. There are magical things that happen in nature — gravity, fluids, lighting — that one couldn't really design using computer graphics."
