It’s so important to create in your own voice, to hold onto what makes you unique, and have faith in your vision.

I believe in research you cannot do enough research; believability comes out of what's real.

There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.

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.

I've always loved animation it's the reason why I do what I do for a living - the films of Walt Disney. This art form is so spectacular and beautiful. And I never quite understood the feeling amongst animation studios that audiences today only wanted to see computer animation. It's never about the medium that a film is made in, it's about the story. It's about how good the movie is.
