The thing about working at Pixar is that everyone around you is smarter and funnier and cleverer than you and they all think the same about everyone else. It's a nice problem to have.

We work very hard in all of the Pixar films to not make anything in the imagery that causes people to think of something other than the story.

From an animation perspective, it doesn't get better than Pixar. You're working so much in the blind because the huge circle of collaborators that's required to pull off a film like this means that you are just one small arc in that large circle. The level of trust that you have to give into is significant.

Anything Pixar does, you know, I really just am in awe of them and thrilled to be included in anything they do.

Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it.

To tell you the truth, I hadn't seen any Pixar until I went to see 'Wall-E,' and I watched it and I was shocked to see how adult it was, with the setting in our lives, both present and future, and how they dealt with it... And then quite relieved to find that the one I was working on, 'Up,' how adult it was.

At Pixar, good ideas may be cut from a film, but they are never forgotten.

I don't think at Pixar we'd ever make something that was too scary for general audiences.

Pixar is not about computers, it's about people.
