Have you ever created a character based on someone you dated?
Not yet, but it's very likely to happen in the future. I can't wait to get my revenge on those bitches.
Do hot animators climb the ladder higher or quicker than the not-so-hots?
Probably. I just make sure to stay near the bottom so I can look up their skirts.

Has being an animator increased your sex appeal?
Absolutely. Chicks come up to me in the pub and ask me "Are you that animator?"
Do you ever bring your work home with you and into bed? If so, how?
No, I bring the stories that happen in my bed into my animation. Best date yet?
She arrived at my flat wearing nothing but a black PVC jacket. The rest is top secret I'm afraid.
I can write lots of dirty letters, texts, all of that, but when it comes to saying and doing them out loud, whether on the phone or in person, I freeze up. How can I get my written words to come to life, with me at the helm?
Pretend you're Angelina Jolie and that the whole world wants you. Confidence is sexy.
Best low-budget way to seduce my date this spring?
Go and see a horror flick. I read somewhere once that a scared woman is an aroused woman. It works — I've tried it! She was grabbing me throughout the whole film.

Have you ever created a character based on someone you dated?
I used my own wife as a stop-motion puppet. Does that count?
Do you ever bring your work home with you and into bed? If so, how?
I talk in my sleep sometimes. My wife tells me that one time in the middle of the night, I sat straight up in bed, with one arm extended, wiggling an imaginary mouse, saying "I just want it to bounce."
What do you think is pivotal for making a relationship last?
Try to see things from your partner's point of view.
I know everyone says no games, but sometimes the primitive game of cat-and-mouse can be so fun. Is there a way to enjoy the process without crossing any lines?
There's nothing wrong with a little chase, if both parties are in on the game. But if the mouse starts picking up ironing boards and frying pans, run away fast!

Get into character. Imagine a person who could say that stuff out loud — Jessica Rabbit, Donald Duck, whatever works for you — and just pretend to be that person for a while. After some time, you may start taking on their sexier characteristics yourself.
Pick-up lines, conversation starters, whatever you want to call it — what's a non-awkward way for me to get a cute girl's attention and start a conversation?
I was going to say "draw a picture of her," but that only works if you can draw pretty well, and it doesn't pass the awkward test. I imagine some women would find it downright creepy. Really, the only thing that's ever worked for me is enthusiasm. Not for the cute girl herself, but for something else that you genuinely love: a painting, a band, your dog. Let your spark show a little. If she has anything in common with you at all, she'll pick up on that vibe right away. And if she doesn't, well, maybe it's better not to start that conversation.
