People want to work with somebody who feels shame, who worries about the perceptions of others. Dishonesty is something we don't like in others.
Inspiration doesn't really work like that - you're not looking out for it. Inspiration is something that tends to capture you rather than you capture it.
My favorite on screen moments are when you are really there and you know you're creating something. That's so exciting... it's why you come to work.
We work very hard in all of the Pixar films to not make anything in the imagery that causes people to think of something other than the story.
I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.
I wouldn't presume to know something, but I have lots to learn and that's what I attempt to do through my work.
Something like 'Much Ado' happens, and even 'Avengers' happens because of the years of building connections and doing the work and proving yourself.
I like to edit; I like to work with other people, and that's something stand-up doesn't really have.
To be able to work with people who I have respected and admired, to be a part of something like the Cannes Film Festival, is surreal and brilliant.
I view the work I've done related to statistics and economics as, roughly speaking, how to do something without having to do everything.
I find it very beautiful to work in different countries because I see the mentality differences there. It is so rich, one always carries forward something.
Anytime I listen to my gut and I don't do something, or I do, it always tends to work out in my favor.
There's very few geniuses that come and revolutionize everything. For the rest of us that want to be artists and have something to say, it's a lot of work and a lot of luck.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
I've experienced a private doubt, something that I've kept deeply inside, and then eventually delivered a piece of work that people responded to with huge enthusiasm.
Surround yourself with people you can always learn something from. Always work with people that are better at their craft than you are.
When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
In China, we think that if you want something to happen, you don't talk about it. So I will keep who I want to work with as my secret.
I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.
Women: You can't live with them, and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something.
Being attractive, it's not something I do consciously. It's incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents.
