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.

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

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.

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

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

John [Lasseter] always said that he was Andy, and Joe [Ranft] and I were Sid, and I think that's true.

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.
