People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.

I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.

I've got Disney blood running through my veins.

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.

At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work.

A gem of a short film has a sense of pure joy in animation that is different from anything you see in a feature film.

One of the fun things about play is making up stories.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.

Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
