More quotes by Andrew Stanton
I had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar.
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
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.
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
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

Andrew Stanton
Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.

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

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
The greatest story commandment is: Make me care.
Andrew Stanton
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
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
Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
Andrew Stanton
And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.
Andrew Stanton
The thing about working at Pixar is that everyone around you is smarter and funnier and cleverer than you and they all think the same about everyone else. Its a nice problem to have.
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?
