doctors world would-be
The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who.
movie dad years
I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.
stories incredibles moments
My movies more often are told through pictures, not words. But in this case, the pictures took second position to the incredible words of Abraham Lincoln and his presence [...] I was less interested in an outpouring of imagery than in letting the most human moment of this story evolve before us.
responsibility lines taste
There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility.
veterans-day father sacrifice
My father had many, many veterans over to the house, and the older I got the more I appreciated their sacrifice.
smell knowing cameras
I like the smell of film. I just like knowing there's film going through the camera.
thinking directors should
I think all directors should be animators...
want directors film
If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.
directors impatient
I am a very impatient director.
believe focus depth
I believe in 3D for certain kinds of films. I certainly believe in using 3D for all things in animation because animation has such clarity and so much depth of focus. It worked great with 'Avatar' because 70 percent of that film is animated.
jobs world fingertips
Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips.
dream years collective-unconscious
You have many years ahead of you to create the dreams that we can't even imagine dreaming. You have done more for the collective unconscious of this planet than you will ever know.
technology bells noise
Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before it's popular. So audiences will not be drawn to the technology; they'll be drawn to the story. And I hope it always remains that way.
trying sponges
When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.
