Ten-year-old boys move differently than middle-aged women, who move differently than athletic guys, who move differently than government bureaucrats.

I think if you have a really big, heavy person, there's a feeling of an invisible puppeteer jerking them around in space. They don't feel like they are moving themselves.

If you look at a lot of animated movies, they don't pay attention to how things move through space.

If you move something 10 pounds through space and then stop suddenly, there's a little overshoot. When you transfer weight from one leg to another, there's a certain way that it happens.

Look, I think if you talk down to a kid or aim specifically at a kid, most kids aren't gonna like it, really, because most kids can feel when you are being patronizing.

I never heard one word in Pixar about, 'Will kids get this?' I don't think it's important that they get everything. I think that it's important that they get engaged, interested.

There are a million logical reasons to not make a film, and I think if you get focused on all the critics or money or any of that other stuff, it never leads anywhere good.

You hope any film finds its audience and makes enough money that you get to make another one.

The most fun I ever had making a movie was the first 'Incredibles.'

I'm definitely a centrist and feel like both parties can be absurd.

Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.

My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff.
