More quotes by 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 had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar.
Andrew Stanton
Don't give [the audience] four give them two plus two.
Andrew Stanton
There's always one sequence in every animated film that's the bane of every animator's existence.
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
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 it's an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure.
Andrew Stanton
Use what you know. Draw from it. It doesnt always mean plot or fact. It means capturing a truth from your experiencing it, expressing values you personally feel deep down in your core.
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.

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
A strong theme is always running through a well-told story.
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 also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.
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
Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.
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
Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.
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
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
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.
