The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.

People want to be creatively satisfied, and having fun is such an important part of that.

Toys are put on this Earth to be played with by a child.

Walt Disney always said, 'For every laugh, there should be a tear.' I believe in that.

I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney. Goofy. Mickey Mouse. I never forgot how their films entertained me.

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.

If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story.

I am, by nature, an honest person. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. There is no 'behind closed doors' with me.
