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

I tend to like dry humor.

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

I'm not really a horror movie fan.

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.

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.

I don't even know how computer animation works, honestly, and I don't need to.

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.

The scary thing is that sometimes you are wrapping up animation on a sequence and you don't know how the movie ends or begins. You just have to bluff and move forward.

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