“Pinocchio was very important to me because I knew I was a wayward kid. I wasn't always doing what I was supposed to do. I wasn't evil, but I didn't always do what I was supposed to. And I could relate to his desire to explore. But it's also a story. It's a redemptive story. It gave me hope as a kid.”
