In storytelling, the audience actually wants to work for their meal, they just don't want to know that they're doing it.

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.'

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.

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

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

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

If you want someone’s attention, whisper.
