A lot of times, people say that if you work hard and never give up, it will always work out, which is a great message. However, that's not always the case.

The scary thing is that sometimes you are wrapping up animation on a sequence and you don't know how the movie ends or begins. You just have to bluff and move forward.

Sometimes we can make everything a little too perfect. I always was a fan of giving direction, but every now and then going, "I don't know. What do you think? Let's see what happens."

I don't even know how computer animation works, honestly, and I don't need to.

A director can come from anywhere, but having a story background, if you have nothing else, is probably a good thing to have because it's really the one tool you need.

I started at Pixar the month Monsters Inc. came out.
