Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.

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.

I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.

In storytelling, the audience actually wants to work for their meal, they just don't want to know that they're doing it.

Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism you'll get a much better movie out of it.

If you don't think a film looks good then that is just a reflection of how bad the artist was that was using the paint that is really good.

And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.

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.

A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.
Andrew Stanton
Image
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
Image
I was that kind of kid that was going to the movies every weekend, I couldnt get enough of the movies, and now I get to make them. So I kind of have a one-track mind.
Andrew Stanton
Image
I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
Andrew Stanton
Image
Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
Andrew Stanton
Image
I almost feel like it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.
Andrew Stanton
Image
I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me, let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me, and from my mother to my wife to my daughter, every time I try to really figure them out, and think I've got them pegged, I pay for it.

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.

Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.
Andrew Stanton
Image
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.

Use what you know. Draw from it. It doesnt always mean plot or fact. It means capturing a truth from your experiencing it, expressing values you personally feel deep down in your core.
Andrew Stanton

I'm twice as funny, I'm twice as smart, I'm twice as whatever when I'm around other people that challenge me.
