When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.

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

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

I always loved the idea of a spy movie and part of it came from my personal love of spy movies. It started when I was growing up as a little kid in the 60s.

'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.

I think the painted backgrounds in animations are absolutely stunningly beautiful. There's something really special about this medium. I don't believe audiences have grown past it. I think what audiences love is to be entertained-thoroughly, deeply entertained, and that's what I've always set out to do.

I've got Disney blood running through my veins.
