John Lasseter

“There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.”

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

“The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.”

“'Cars' is simply near and dear to my heart.”

“Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.”

“Pixar is not about computers, it's about people.”

“The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters.”

“A good part of my leadership skills is crafted from learning from experiences early in my career that were not positive experiences.”
