The last thing on my mind was to be an actor, but I had a crush on a cute girl in the drama department, so the best thing for me to do was audition, help out, do carpentry, whatever it took to get me on that project.

I'm still really into set design and construction when I do films. I notice that stuff.

Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.

What I've learned from the Pixar guys is 'If you work for the love of what you're doing, it's always going to come out right.' Cause if you're working for a paycheck then it's not going to work in the long run; it's not going to feed your heart and soul.

Before 1972, no actors got residuals. They just got paid. No residuals.

After all, at end of the day, when you're breathing your last, it's not your producer, director, or cast mates by your bedside; it's your children. Keep that in mind.

On my visits back home, if they saw that I was getting a big head, they'd let me know right away.
