• Don’t let anyone treat you badly because you’re scared of losing them.
• Someone who comes in and out of your life isn’t worth the stress.
• You are not a reflection of those who could not love you properly.
• You are a priority, not an option.

My most favorite moment was when, after years of filming it, and being very strict to animation, because you have to be strict with animation, because it’s timing, and picture, and that kind of thing… And I was very strict with it. But I kept doing things, I’d be naughty, and I’d do something… And they’d say, “Sam, you can’t do that! This is not Robin Williams. You cannot do that, you can’t make up little jokes on the side.” But a year after we finished completing the film, they called me up, and they said, “Sam, we’re going to fly you out here. All of the things we said you couldn’t do… You’ve got three hours to do all of them.” So they brought me in the studio, and they just turned the mike on… and I went nuts! I just said anything I wanted to say like Sebastian. I talked like him for three hours, and some of it found it’s way into the movie. For example: “Teenagers. They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all over you.” That was something that I just made up!
