More quotes by 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
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
The greatest story commandment is: Make me care.
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
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
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 almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again. I dont want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up?
Andrew Stanton
I had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar.
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
Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.
Andrew Stanton
I think in the future we might see things arrive the way Prince announces a concert where a few days before the show he announces it and tickets just go up. You might see that with movies and other things.
Andrew Stanton
Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.
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'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
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
Don't give [the audience] four give them two plus two.
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
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
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
A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.
