To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.

The closer you get to reality, the harder it is to make it look convincing to the audience. That's why I tend to make things [films] that are a little bit more caricature.

Directing is one of my favourite things to do because I love telling stories and I love working with the individual artists and it's something that I really missed.

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

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.

Every technology that comes into filmmaking is first a gimmick. Think about sound with 'The Jazz Singer' or the first colour or surround sound - it takes a while for filmmakers to understand how to use it.

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.
