A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.

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

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

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

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

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.

The best stories infuse wonder.
