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.

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.

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

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

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.
