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
Well, executive producer can mean anything in the world of Hollywood, sadly. It can be a bought title in many instances.
Andrew Stanton
I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
Andrew Stanton

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.

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

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

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