There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.

Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.

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.

No one's going to see my mistakes; I just need the safety of these mistakes to lead me to the right answers.

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.

Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.

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