I'm a big comedy fan, and a fan of films.

I don't need to try to push everyone out of the way and say, "This is how you do it. I actually like not knowing. I trust every lead.

No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.

I was an animator for a while early on, but a 2D animator.

A lot of times, people say that if you work hard and never give up, it will always work out, which is a great message. However, that's not always the case.

I'm not really a horror movie fan.

There are characters that become more popular as we fall in love with them.

I worked in the story department for years, on Cars and Toy Story 3.

I started at Pixar the month Monsters Inc. came out.

I like sharing stuff with people. I feel like it's kind of at their own discretion, you can see too much if you want to see too much.

A director can come from anywhere, but having a story background, if you have nothing else, is probably a good thing to have because it's really the one tool you need.

Well don't demand the spotlight if you can't handle the attention.

Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!

Art is not living. It is the use of living.

Your ability to set goals and to make plans for their accomplishment is the master skill of success.

It is impossible for a cyclops to wink.

I am tired of always dying with a broken heart.

Imagery is not past but present. It rests with what we call our mental processes to place these images in a temporal order.

I always want to push myself, even though I'm not in the entire thing. My friend Taylor says, "If you're the smartest person in the entire room, you're in the wrong room."

Creativity ignited a spark. In that moment, I saw that art is not peripheral, beauty is not optional, but a strategy for survival.

I became a chameleon. My color didn't change. But I could change your perception of my color.
