I was not a big comic-book reader.

Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one.

Communities need to hear the liberating power of the gospel

Well I'm still working on The Incredibles. So I'm going to take a little time off. I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve. I'm not ready to talk about them yet, but expect the unexpected.

We all have impossible dreams and we do what we can to pursue them.

To make something really great and different and interesting means taking risks and following these ideas in your head.

I absolutely think that hand-drawn animation is valid and I actually hope to do one in the future with a large budget.

If you look at a lot of animated movies, they don't pay attention to how things move through space.

My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff

You have to be emotionally attached to what you are doing.

But I don't just see the movie when I see the movie, I see all the great people who worked on it and all their hard work, because they could not have worked any harder.

We would send them all to hell! And hell they would go!

I love hiking in Iceland most, there are lots of brilliant paths.

I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.

I like to skin up ski resorts and, for me, being blind, that's nice because it's wide open, with no avalanche danger.

I lied to everybody. I lie very well, being an actress, naturally.

Artie travels all the time. The rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time. He didn't want to do the show with my band; he just wanted me on acoustic guitar.

The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.

I've come to be pretty selective about the type of advocacy that I do, because I kind of feel like it's stronger to just do my work and let it speak for itself.
