John Lasseter
The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
John Lasseter
In computer animation, every detail has to be thought out, designed, modeled, shaded, placed and lit. The more you add, the more computer memory you need.
John Lasseter
I think the painted backgrounds in animations are absolutely stunningly beautiful. There's something really special about this medium. I don't believe audiences have grown past it. I think what audiences love is to be entertained-thoroughly, deeply entertained, and that's what I've always set out to do.
John Lasseter
I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.

The more we all help each other, the more we all benefit. So go out there. Help others.

The spy genre is something I loved.It also extends to the bad guy because I think, to me, what I love the most about the spy genre is when you have a great bad guy. What makes a great bad guy, to me, is the logic. What he's about has to make sense to me, that if I was in his shoes, yeah, right, that makes sense.
John Lasseter
I love the villains who are really hyper-smart. When at the end of the movie you find out what they were about, and it makes absolutely perfect sense from their point of view.
John Lasseter

Directing is one of my favourite things to do because I love telling stories and I love working with the individual artists and it's something that I really missed.
John Lasseter
The closer you get to reality, the harder it is to make it look convincing to the audience. That's why I tend to make things [films] that are a little bit more caricature.
John Lasseter
Every single Pixar film, at one time or another, has been the worst movie ever put on film. But we know. We trust our process. We don't get scared and say, 'Oh, no, this film isn't working.'
John Lasseter
Disney Infinity gives you the ability to be creative in a way that nobody's ever seen before.
John Lasseter
'Bambi' is an amazing film, and when you watch it today, it's just as beautiful. It's timeless. It's just as beautiful today as it was back then.
John Lasseter
I think that the entertainment industry and the entertainment press tends to focus on opening weekend box office as a measure of the success of a film and I think the true success is out there in people's homes and how much they absolutely love these characters.
John Lasseter
I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
John Lasseter
I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.
John Lasseter
To me, I would much rather be part of a healthy industry than being the only player in a dead industry. There are so many great artists out there. And the goal is to make great movies, you know? So to be successful, quality is the best business plan as I always say.
