Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die?

I think the thing is that you're very affected by your early life, and I think that if you ever had that feeling of outsider, or loneliness or whatever, it just doesn't leave you. You can be happy and successful, whatever, but I think that thing stays inside of you. It doesn't ever really leave you. You kind of always will have that.

I always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.

I like the challenge of doing things you know that you maybe shouldn't do.

I remember early in my career with Disney, which was a very strange time in the company - there were a couple of executives who were very supportive of me and kind of let me do my own thing.

The Boy with Nails in His Eyes put up his aluminum tree. It looked pretty strange because he couldn't really see.

In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn't work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They're relying too much on the technology and not enough on the artists.
