Technology forced me to divorce a pixie and remarry a pixel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.
If we had been less reliant on technology and the security that we enjoy in being divorced from what we used to know, maybe things would have turned out differently.
What's going to be hard for me is to try to divorce myself as much as possible from what I wrote. I'll have to approach it simply as raw material and try to craft a film script out of it.
In the mid-1990s, when I stopped having to run from the shows to the film developing lab and first saw digital images, I blessed technology and was convinced that my working life was changing for the better.
I had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar.
I always get sick of these conversations where people are so obsessed with pixels, with high definition, and even with technology in general. I find it just dull and heartless. And so I wanted to use only the worst machines.
Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.
I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.
I'm so wrapped up in my work that it's often impossible to consider other things in my life. My marriage ended in divorce because of this, my relationship with Holly has suffered by this.
My parents separated it, and that let me know that TV life wasn't my normal life; that was my job and my hobby.
