Sunday, for me, is all about being home with the family with no plans.

The closer you get to reality, the harder it is to make it look convincing to the audience. That's why I tend to make things [films] that are a little bit more caricature.

The hardest thing to get is true emotion. I always believe you need to earn that with the audience. You can't just tell them ok, be sad now. Humor, you can add. Even to the last minute you can be adding little bits of humor. But the true earned emotion is something that you really have to craft.

People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.

A gem of a short film has a sense of pure joy in animation that is different from anything you see in a feature film.

Every technology that comes into filmmaking is first a gimmick. Think about sound with 'The Jazz Singer' or the first colour or surround sound - it takes a while for filmmakers to understand how to use it.

Pixar films are not realistic. They are believable for the worlds we are creating.
