I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.

Mama always said, dying was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't.

I have gone through so many examinations of what a hero is, between the World War II stuff and the astronaut stuff.

Motion pictures are just beginning to live up to their true potential of being immersive experience - going from beyond black and white flickering images to fully immersive 3D color high-definition. You don't even know where the real world starts and the fake world begins. And yet, none of that's going to matter unless the story and the emotions that they allow us to become invested in are something that we can recognize. Pixar is able to do this in ways that almost defies speculation.
