I have this saying. Quality is the best business plan. I believe so strongly in that.

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

It [moviemaking] is about entertaining audiences with great characters and great stories, you want to make people laugh, you want to make people cry, you want to have great music that is memorable. You want a movie that, as soon as it's over, you want to watch it again, just like that. That's what it is, whether it's live-action, animation, hand drawn, computer, special effects, puppet animation, it doesn't matter. That's the goal of a filmmaker.

This is what I always tell my filmmakers-you have to do tons of research, because you don't know where the inspiration is going come from.

At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work.

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.
