Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.

I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.

John [Lasseter] always said that he was Andy, and Joe [Ranft] and I were Sid, and I think that's true.

Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.

I'm twice as funny, I'm twice as smart, I'm twice as whatever when I'm around other people that challenge me.

I think in the future we might see things arrive the way Prince announces a concert where a few days before the show he announces it and tickets just go up. You might see that with movies and other things.

Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it.
