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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it.

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