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.

Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.

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

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.

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.

In fact, I don't think I'll ever make anything that will feel as divinely dropped in my lap as the opening of 'Wall-E.'

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.
