You need others. Too often people think that being unique means being isolated, and being a great artist means coming up with genius ideas out of nowhere. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

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.

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

I 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.

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.

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

I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
