Toys are put on this Earth to be played with by a child.

I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.

What's fun about the story development at Pixar is it's a journey. You don't just write a script and then that's the movie you make. It's just constant evolution and being open to that and that collaboration with the voice actors and with the artists and animators at Pixar.

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.

Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.

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

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