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.

There's nothing that you like in this world that wasn't influenced by a bunch of key things; nothing came completely clean out of a vacuum.

The best stories infuse wonder.

The greatest story commandment is: Make me care.

I'm a family man, I have kids, and I go to the movies. And I'm just going to make the kind of movie I want to see.

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

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.
