I mean, frankly, I'm not speaking as a representative of Disney or Pixar, I'm speaking as just myself as a filmmaker: I don't go into anything that often thinking about a sequel.

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

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again. I dont want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up?

I'm still craving approval from my parents. It took a lot of success for me to realize it was never coming. It's just not in their nature.

There's always one sequence in every animated film that's the bane of every animator's existence.

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

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.
