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

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.

And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again. I dont want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up?

I think in the future we might see things arrive the way Prince announces a concert where a few days before the show he announces it and tickets just go up. You might see that with movies and other things.

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 also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.
