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
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
Art is messy, art is chaos - so you need a system.
Andrew Stanton
I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.
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.
Andrew Stanton
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?
Andrew Stanton
John [Lasseter] always said that he was Andy, and Joe [Ranft] and I were Sid, and I think that's true.
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
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.
Andrew Stanton
I've always felt you unearth story, like you're on an archeological dig.
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
Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.
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
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
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
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'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
Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.
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
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.
