A good part of my leadership skills is crafted from learning from experiences early in my career that were not positive experiences.

Animation is the one type of movie that really does play for the entire audience. Our challenge is to make stories that connect for kids and adults.

One of the fun things about play is making up stories.

There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out and inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment.

People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.

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.

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