I trust every lead in every department. All of the teams are phenomenal artists. All I need to tell them is why to do something, not how to do something.

I worked in the story department for years on 'Cars' and 'Toy Story 3.'

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.

I think we make the movies, initially, with the one movie in mind. But we do love the characters, and so we kind of miss the characters when the movie is over. But I think what happens is, every now and then you realize there's more to tell, or an idea comes up.

There are characters that become more popular as we fall in love with them.

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