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

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

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.

Sadly, my hobby is what I do for work, so I don't go off and go fishing. I go home and veg, and then I go back to work.

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.

I'm still craving approval from my parents. It took a lot of success for me to realize it was never coming. It's just not in their nature.

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