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

Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.

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

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

There's always one sequence in every animated film that's the bane of every animator's existence.

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