Sadly, my hobby is what I do for work, so I don't go off and go fishing. I go home and veg, and then I go back to work.

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

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.

Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.

Well, executive producer can mean anything in the world of Hollywood, sadly. It can be a bought title in many instances.

There's always one sequence in every animated film that's the bane of every animator's existence.

The greatest story commandment is: Make me care.

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.

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.

A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.

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.

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.

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.

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

The best stories infuse wonder.

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.'

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.

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.
