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

Well, executive producer can mean anything in the world of Hollywood, sadly. It can be a bought title in many instances.

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.

I was that kind of kid that was going to the movies every weekend, I couldnt get enough of the movies, and now I get to make them. So I kind of have a one-track mind.

There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.

I had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar.

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.
