The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.

'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.

People want to be creatively satisfied, and having fun is such an important part of that.

I love Hindi films.

I actually had a movie green lit at Disney the same week 'Burlesque' was green lit - a movie for Disney called 'Mash-Up', about a high school marching band.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.
