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.

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'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.

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

I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.

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.
