More quotes by Andrew Stanton
John [Lasseter] always said that he was Andy, and Joe [Ranft] and I were Sid, and I think that's true.
Andrew Stanton
We all fall into our habits, our routines, our ruts. They're used quite often, consciously or unconsciously, to avoid living, to avoid doing the messy part of having relationships with other people, of dealing with a person next to us. That's why we can all be in a room on our cell phones and not have to deal with one another.
Andrew Stanton
A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.
Andrew Stanton
I almost feel like it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.
Andrew Stanton
I've been a fan of movies longer than anything else. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you can't translate a book literally to the screen. It won't work because it's a different medium. And it would be the same in reverse.
Andrew Stanton
In fact, I don't think I'll ever make anything that will feel as divinely dropped in my lap as the opening of 'Wall-E.'
Andrew Stanton
I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
Andrew Stanton
Well, executive producer can mean anything in the world of Hollywood, sadly. It can be a bought title in many instances.
Andrew Stanton
I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.
Andrew Stanton
In storytelling, the audience actually wants to work for their meal, they just don't want to know that they're doing it.
Andrew Stanton
The way Pixar has always worked is that we think of an idea and then we make it. We don't develop lots of ideas and then pick one.
Andrew Stanton
The thing about working at Pixar is that everyone around you is smarter and funnier and cleverer than you and they all think the same about everyone else. Its a nice problem to have.
Andrew Stanton
If you want someone’s attention, whisper.
Andrew Stanton
Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.
Andrew Stanton
And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.
Andrew Stanton
I had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar.
Andrew Stanton
That's what great art does - it inspires other artists to do great art, and that's what it should do.
Andrew Stanton
There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.
Andrew Stanton
Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.
Andrew Stanton
I mean, frankly, I'm not speaking as a representative of Disney or Pixar, I'm speaking as just myself as a filmmaker: I don't go into anything that often thinking about a sequel.
