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

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.

To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.

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.

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

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.'

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.
