More quotes by 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
This is what I always tell my filmmakers-you have to do tons of research, because you don't know where the inspiration is going come from.
John Lasseter
We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.
John Lasseter
One of the big technical advances that's really great looking is the water.
John Lasseter
My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts
John Lasseter
People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.
John Lasseter
Sure, they were simple desk lamps with only a minimal amount of movement, but you could immediately tell that Luxo Jr. was a baby, and that the big one was his mother. In that short little film, computer animation went from a novelty to a serious tool for filmmaking.
John Lasseter
My father pulled into Pearl Harbor four days after the bombing, and he said, everything was still burning. He said they never told the public how bad it was. It was really bad.
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.
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
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.
John Lasseter
I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards How did they do that?
John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.
John Lasseter
Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else.
John Lasseter
I quickly realized that this medium had a lot to offer someone like me. To do Disney-quality hand-drawn cartoons, you have to be a master of two art forms. Seriously, you have to be able to draw like a Leonardo da Vinci or a Michelangelo. But also you have to know movement and timing and control that through 24 frames a second.
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
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
Every technology that comes into filmmaking is first a gimmick. Think about sound with 'The Jazz Singer' or the first colour or surround sound - it takes a while for filmmakers to understand how to use it.
John Lasseter
Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.
John Lasseter
