More quotes by 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
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
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.
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
Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.
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
I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
Andrew Stanton
There's always one sequence in every animated film that's the bane of every animator's existence.
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
A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.
Andrew Stanton
Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
Andrew Stanton
I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.
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
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'm twice as funny, I'm twice as smart, I'm twice as whatever when I'm around other people that challenge me.
Andrew Stanton
In storytelling, the audience actually wants to work for their meal, they just don't want to know that they're doing it.
Andrew Stanton
A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.
Andrew Stanton
The best stories infuse wonder.
Andrew Stanton
Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.
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
