Animation, for me, is a wonderful art form. I never understood why the studios wanted to stop making animation. Maybe they felt that the audiences around the world only wanted to watch computer animation. I didn't understand that, because I don't think ever in the history of cinema did the medium of a film make that film entertaining or not. What I've always felt is, what audiences like to watch are really good movies.

People who get into animation tend to be kids. We don't have to grow up. But also, animators are great observers, and there's this childlike wonder and interest in the world, the observation of little things that happen in life.

When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.

Quality is the best business plan.

At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work.

A good part of my leadership skills is crafted from learning from experiences early in my career that were not positive experiences.

Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else.
