Andrew Stanton

Andrew Stanton
Image
John [Lasseter] always said that he was Andy, and Joe [Ranft] and I were Sid, and I think that's true.
Andrew Stanton
Image
Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.
Andrew Stanton

I'm still craving approval from my parents. It took a lot of success for me to realize it was never coming. It's just not in their nature.
Andrew Stanton
Image
