Europe equals Earth. The native Americans are the Na’vi. It’s not meant to be subtle." (en)
- Avatar comes from a childhood sense of wonder about nature... You fly in your dreams as a child, but you tend not to fly in your dreams as an adult. In the Avatar state, [Jake] is getting to return to that childlike dream state of doing amazing things. (en)
