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. – John Lasseter
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! – John Lasseter
I love the Sonoma wine community. It’s like Pixar – nothing competitive, only supportive. They’re always rooting for you. – John Lasseter
Car love is the sound of a throaty V-8 rumbling and revving, the acceleration throwing you back in the seat – especially when you get on a beautiful, winding road and the light’s dappling through the trees. – John Lasseter
‘Cars’ was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward. – John Lasseter
I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster. – John Lasseter
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. – John Lasseter
When you take something that’s inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing thinking and having emotions, that’s animation. But when you take something that’s live-action, and move a part of it, that’s a special effect. – John Lasseter
Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else. – John Lasseter
