Sadly, my hobby is what I do for work, so I don't go off and go fishing. I go home and veg, and then I go back to work.

A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.

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 almost feel like it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.

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.

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