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

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.

A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.

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.

The thing about working at Pixar is that everyone around you is smarter and funnier and cleverer than you and they all think the same about everyone else. Its a nice problem to have.

I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me, let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me, and from my mother to my wife to my daughter, every time I try to really figure them out, and think I've got them pegged, I pay for it.

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