Famous quotes by John Lasseter:

"I had been working nonstop through the '90s ... and my wife Nancy said, 'Be careful, your boys may go off to college and you will have missed it."

"Quality is a great business plan."

"I am so proud to be part of this company... again."

"I promise you we will make films that entertain you the moment the lights go down. We're making Disney the one place you have to work (as an animator)."

"I never understood why you wouldn't start designing a ride when you start making a film so two months after a film comes out you have a ride. I promise you we are not only going to make great motion pictures we are going to make great rides."

"He has been a tremendous influence on my career and on most animators and animation directors around the world."

"A simple rule of thumb is that the more geometric something is, ... the easier it is to reproduce on a computer. The more organic something is, the more difficult it is to reproduce on computer. And so, hence, 'Toy Story' was the perfect story for our first film -- man-made world, man-made environment, flat floors. 'A Bug's Life,' there is nothing geometric about this movie."

"He has been a tremendous influence on my career and on most animators and animation directors around the world,"

"Every animator is a toy nut."

"This guy is one of the greatest that's ever lived,"

"I believe in research you cannot do enough research; believability comes out of what's real."

"We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films."

"The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art."

"Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else."

"I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards: how did they do that?"

"You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters."

"In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family."

"I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career."

"Every single Pixar film, at one time or another, has been the worst movie ever put on film. But we know. We trust our process. We don't get scared and say, 'Oh, no, this film isn't working.'"

"If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story."
