If you're trying to do multiple agendas, you'll confuse yourself as a storyteller. If you have one purpose, everything else will fall into place.
I think you could go back to any filmmaker or musician or artist, and look at what their input was in their formative years, and you could trace all the lines.
There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.
A major threshold is passed when you mature enough to acknowledge what drives you, and to take the wheel and steer it.
Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.
I'm still craving approval from my parents. It took a lot of success for me to realize it was never coming. It's just not in their nature.
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. Its a nice problem to have.
