We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.

When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world.

The spy genre is something I loved.It also extends to the bad guy because I think, to me, what I love the most about the spy genre is when you have a great bad guy. What makes a great bad guy, to me, is the logic. What he's about has to make sense to me, that if I was in his shoes, yeah, right, that makes sense.

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.

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

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