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

The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.

Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.

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

To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.

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.

You need others. Too often people think that being unique means being isolated, and being a great artist means coming up with genius ideas out of nowhere. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
