You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it's much better to do it with loved ones around you family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey.

What's fun about the story development at Pixar is it's a journey. You don't just write a script and then that's the movie you make. It's just constant evolution and being open to that and that collaboration with the voice actors and with the artists and animators at Pixar.
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
My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts
John Lasseter
The more we all help each other, the more we all benefit. So go out there. Help others.
John Lasseter
There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out and inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment.
John Lasseter
Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.
John Lasseter
To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.
John Lasseter
One of the big technical advances that's really great looking is the water.
John Lasseter
You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
