I started at Pixar the month 'Monsters Inc.' came out.

The first 'Monsters, Inc.' represents starting at Pixar for me, I have a special place in my heart for it. So to be able to tell a story with those ideas is an honor.

I don't think at Pixar we'd ever make something that was too scary for general audiences.

People will turn their noses up at a sequel or that type of thing, but Pixar really works hard - if they're making a sequel - to make a sequel an original movie, to make it an original story.

At Pixar, we do a million versions of the movie, and every one of them goes through their awkward teenage phase where it's terrible and doesn't make sense, and we just keep working on it.

No one ever tells a story to help you figure out where to go when a door closes on you.
