The best stories infuse wonder.

I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me, let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me, and from my mother to my wife to my daughter, every time I try to really figure them out, and think I've got them pegged, I pay for it.

I almost feel like it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.

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

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.'

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

The thing about working at Pixar is that everyone around you is smarter and funnier and cleverer than you and they all think the same about everyone else. Its a nice problem to have.
