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

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.

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'm not really a horror movie fan.

I worked in the story department for years, on Cars and Toy Story 3.

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

No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.
