I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards "How did they do that?"

'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.

When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world.

Directing is one of my favourite things to do because I love telling stories and I love working with the individual artists and it's something that I really missed.

Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.

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

You have to do three things really well to make a successful film. You have to tell a compelling story that has a story that is unpredictable, that keeps people on the edge of their seat where they can't wait to see what happens next. You then populate that story with really memorable and appealing characters. And then, you put that story and those characters in a believable world, not realistic but believable for the story that you're telling.
