William Stanton may refer to:...
parent approval realizing
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.
girl daughter mother
I've always been shocked and waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop that a girl would ever talk to me, let alone want to marry me. They always seem to hold the power to me, and from my mother to my wife to my daughter, every time I try to really figure them out, and think I've got them pegged, I pay for it.
nice cutting thinking
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.
book honor good-movie
I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.
people guy pixar
Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels.
stories like-you felt
I've always felt you unearth story, like you're on an archeological dig.
book long fans
I've been a fan of movies longer than anything else. One thing I learned a long time ago is that you can't translate a book literally to the screen. It won't work because it's a different medium. And it would be the same in reverse.
home fishing hobbies
Sadly, my hobby is what I do for work, so I don't go off and go fishing. I go home and veg, and then I go back to work.
stories fundamentals static
Change is fundamental in story. If things go static, stories die.
keys world vacuums
There's nothing that you like in this world that wasn't influenced by a bunch of key things; nothing came completely clean out of a vacuum.
thinking ideas way
The way Pixar has always worked is that we think of an idea and then we make it. We don't develop lots of ideas and then pick one.
people criticism way
Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it.
drama anticipation uncertainty
Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.
two giving four
Don't give [the audience] four; give them two plus two.
