I've always felt you unearth story, like you're on an archeological dig.

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.

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.

No one's going to see my mistakes I just need the safety of these mistakes to lead me to the right answers.

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.

Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.
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.

If you want someone’s attention, whisper.

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.'
Andrew Stanton

I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
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.

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.

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

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

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?

That's what great art does - it inspires other artists to do great art, and that's what it should do.
