You make a movie to entertain audiences. That's why you make a movie. The product sales is because people love the characters, and to me, that is a testament to how our movie has become so ingrained in family's homes all around the world and that's why I make movies.

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

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

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.

People who get into animation tend to be kids. We don't have to grow up. But also, animators are great observers, and there's this childlike wonder and interest in the world, the observation of little things that happen in life.

Humor is the easiest to achieve; the 'heart' is always the toughest, because you can't tell people to feel a certain way.

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