That's what great art does - it inspires other artists to do great art, and that's what it should do.

If you don't think a film looks good then that is just a reflection of how bad the artist was that was using the paint that is really good.

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.

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

No one's going to see my mistakes; I just need the safety of these mistakes to lead me to the right answers.

The way Pixar has always worked is that we think of an idea and then we make it. We don't develop lots of ideas and then pick one.
