I figured I’d probably write 50 scripts in my life. Out of those 50, I figured maybe five would be produced, and that maybe one or two would be successful. So I always kind of expected I’d write at least one successful film in my life. [...] The way it all came together was kind of like Murphy's law in reverse—I don’t expect that kind of experience again any time soon.

The great thing about the animation process is that is goes from, I write the lines, it goes to the actors, the actors bring a whole world to that, they bring the characters to life, then it goes to the animators, then it goes to the editor who cuts it together, and then you screen it and it goes back through the system again.

My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.

Writing a great script - not just a good one, but a great one - is almost an impossible task.

I had read enough mediocre scripts and was determined not to inflict another one on the world.

Changing how you think costs you no money and it takes no special talent. It does take a commitment on your part to be different.

Line up your thoughts up for potential, take action and success will follow.
