John Lasseter

I love working for a company full of geeks.

I love 3-D. I have been a big fan of 3-D for a long, long time. I took my 1988 wedding pictures in 3-D!

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.

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

What I love about Goofy is the flesh on his cheeks. You can almost feel it.

I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards: how did they do that?

We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.

I love bringing the inanimate object to life.

The iPad changed my life!

One of the big moments of my life was watching 'Star Wars' on its opening weekend in Hollywood. I was watching all these people enjoy this film, and I thought: animation can do this.
