“Live-action movies are all about looking as real as possible, making y...” — Stephen Schwartz Quote

“Live-action movies are all about looking as real as possible, making you believe, 'I really am on Mars,' or, 'I really am under the ocean,' or whatever. But animation and theater want you to use your imagination more.”

“Being able to use art and music not just to communicate, but to have a positive effect on people, that's significant to me.”

“One of the nice things about live theater is if you do something and it doesn't work, it doesn't mean that there's not going to be another opportunity down the line.”

“I guess my first digital movie was 'Tintin' because 'Tintin' has no film step. There is no intermediate film step. It's 100% digital animation, but as far as a live-action film, I'm still planning to shoot everything on film.”

“Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art.”

“In overseeing both Disney and Pixar Animation, each studio has a unique culture.”
