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.

More quotes by John Lasseter
When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.
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
Animation is the one type of movie that really does play for the entire audience. Our challenge is to make stories that connect for kids and adults.
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
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.
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
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
You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
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
One of the fun things about play is making up stories.
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
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
Quality is the best business plan.
John Lasseter
My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts
John Lasseter
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
Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.
John Lasseter
The hardest thing to get is true emotion. I always believe you need to earn that with the audience. You can't just tell them ok, be sad now. Humor, you can add. Even to the last minute you can be adding little bits of humor. But the true earned emotion is something that you really have to craft.
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
