My brother liked sewing and sculpting and making things, and my sister sewed and painted and cooked and baked. She's a professional baker now and makes the most gorgeous sculpture-like cakes. She's the queen of wedding cakes in the Lake Tahoe area.

I love French auto design of the early '50s, '60s, early '70s of Citorens, Renaults, and Peugeots. They're so unique.

I'm really proud of 'Cars.' 'Cars,' when it first came out, got probably the most mediocre reviews of a Pixar film.

I laugh very hard at work every day.

I'm a car nut. My father was a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership.
I'm a big fan of pantomime storytelling, being an animator.

I love the work of Hayao Miyazaki. 'My Neighbor Totoro' and 'Castle in the Sky' are two of the great films that he's made that I just love.

I love the Sonoma wine community. It's like Pixar - nothing competitive, only supportive. They're always rooting for you.

I love Japan. I love the collision of the modern and ancient worlds coming together in that place. It's so high-tech and cool.
beauty disney fairy quite since sincere tale understood
I never quite understood why Disney hadn't made a sincere fairy tale since 'Beauty and the Beast.'
In an animated film you can do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you should do everything you want.
I try to make pictures I would want to see.
