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.
John LasseterHumor is the easiest to achieve; the 'heart' is always the toughest, because you can't tell people to feel a certain way.
John LasseterI 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.
John LasseterI love the villains who are really hyper-smart. When at the end of the movie you find out what they were about, and it makes absolutely perfect sense from their point of view.
John LasseterI just devoured all of his [Buster Keatonโs] films because his sense of comic timing was amazing. Heโs the closest a human being has ever come to a cartoon character. And I was just amazed at his sense of character and timing, the humor. It's all just soโฆsophisticated, even when you watch it today.
