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

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.

I was that kind of kid that was going to the movies every weekend, I couldnt get enough of the movies, and now I get to make them. So I kind of have a one-track mind.

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

Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.

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 never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
