No one's going to see my mistakes; I just need the safety of these mistakes to lead me to the right answers.

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.

I've been a fan of movies longer than anything else. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you can't translate a book literally to the screen. It won't work because it's a different medium. And it would be the same in reverse.

Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.

The best stories infuse wonder.

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

I've always felt you unearth story, like you're on an archeological dig.
