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.

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

I've been a fan of movies longer than anything else. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you can't translate a book literally to the screen. It won't work because it's a different medium. And it would be the same in reverse.

Use what you know. Draw from it. It doesnt always mean plot or fact. It means capturing a truth from your experiencing it, expressing values you personally feel deep down in your core.

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

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

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