I came into DreamWorks looking to direct. I was hoping to go through story as a way toward directing, because that's how it worked at Disney, story people became heads of story, and heads of story became directors. And they said, ‘Right now we don't have a lot of story, but we have visual development,' and I said, ‘Good, I paint! (Vicky Jenson)

I used to work at NASA in Virginia. It was nothing glamorous; I was just tasked with making code compile for obscure projects, and I wasn't very good at it. Now I spend most of my time drawing pictures and looking at funny things on the Internet, which in retrospect is largely what I did at my old job, too. View quote

We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.

Goodness was more difficult than evil. Evil men knew that more than good men. That's why they became evil. That's why it stuck with them. Evil was for those who could never reach the truth. It was a mask for stupidity and lack of love. even of people laughed at the notion of goodness, if they found it sentimental, or nostalgic, he said, it had to be fought for. View quote
