More quotes by Andrew Stanton
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.

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.
Andrew Stanton
Don't give [the audience] four give them two plus two.
Andrew Stanton

A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.
Andrew Stanton
I'm a family man, I have kids, and I go to the movies. And I'm just going to make the kind of movie I want to see.

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
The best stories infuse wonder.
Andrew Stanton
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.
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
Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
Andrew Stanton
Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.
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
No one's going to see my mistakes I just need the safety of these mistakes to lead me to the right answers.
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
That's what great art does - it inspires other artists to do great art, and that's what it should do.
Andrew Stanton
Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.
Andrew Stanton
There's nothing that you like in this world that wasn't influenced by a bunch of key things nothing came completely clean out of a vacuum.
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.
