pixar yeah stills
Oh yeah, I'm still employed at Pixar and I love it here.
thinking people trying
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
dream impossible pursue
We all have impossible dreams and we do what we can to pursue them...
ego assistants bigs
Oh, I'm just Ego's assistant. It's not anything big.
enthusiasm
I admit I'm enthusiastically demanding.
drawing goal als
When caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld, did a drawing of a celebrity, it often looked more like the person than the person did. That's our goal in animation.
funny hands feet
Well what's funny is, again, people say they believed what was going on, but again, Bob's hands are about three times bigger than his feet. So these are very caricatured.
moving hands feelings
Even in hand drawn animation, humans are widely considered to be the most difficult to execute, because everybody has a feeling for how they move.
thinking next pixar
I think it's the most extraordinary studio around. I would love to do my next project with Pixar.
sleep kids wife
I have three kids and a wife, and any moments that aren't dedicated to working on this film in some way, or family, are immediately reserved for sleep.
hard-work people harder
But I don't just see the movie when I see the movie, I see all the great people who worked on it and all their hard work, because they could not have worked any harder.
You have to be emotionally attached to what you are doing.
hero firefighter television
I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.
