Every animator is really an actor performing in slow motion, living the character a drawing at a time.

My father pulled into Pearl Harbor four days after the bombing, and he said, everything was still burning. He said they never told the public how bad it was. It was really bad.

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

Quality is the best business plan.

What's fun about the story development at Pixar is it's a journey. You don't just write a script and then that's the movie you make. It's just constant evolution and being open to that and that collaboration with the voice actors and with the artists and animators at Pixar.

You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it's much better to do it with loved ones around you; family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey.

A gem of a short film has a sense of pure joy in animation that is different from anything you see in a feature film.
