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.

You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.

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.

I think that the entertainment industry and the entertainment press tends to focus on opening weekend box office as a measure of the success of a film and I think the true success is out there in people's homes and how much they absolutely love these characters.

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

Every young person gets so excited about new software packages and new technology.

I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.
