Andrew Stanton Thinking Quotations

Loneliness is, I think, people's biggest fear, whether they are conscious of it or not.

I never think about the audience. If someone gives me a marketing report, I throw it away.

In fact, I don't think I'll ever make anything that will feel as divinely dropped in my lap as the opening of 'Wall-E.'

I mean, frankly, I'm not speaking as a representative of Disney or Pixar, I'm speaking as just myself as a filmmaker: I don't go into anything that often thinking about a sequel.

I think in the future we might see things arrive the way Prince announces a concert where a few days before the show he announces it and tickets just go up. You might see that with movies and other things.

The thing about working at Pixar is that everyone around you is smarter and funnier and cleverer than you and they all think the same about everyone else. Its a nice problem to have.

The way Pixar has always worked is that we think of an idea and then we make it. We don't develop lots of ideas and then pick one.

There's a lot of downsides to social media, but one of the nice things is that you can cut through all the BS and go straight to the person and ask them directly. I think that's a wonderful thing. I love talking to people who are true fans or who have a true love of cinema, and so if I can talk to them directly, great.

John [Lasseter] always said that he was Andy, and Joe [Ranft] and I were Sid, and I think that's true.
