I had Brandon Hoyte running downhill at me. So I had to pitch the ball.

221

He was one of the major players (at Pixar), and we have yet to process what that will mean over time.

209

I guess he was pretty excited. He was talking like a 6-year-old girl.

204

That's the fastest 100 I ever ran.

You end up using your own instincts. You end up having the guts to do what you should have done all along. After a while, we needed to give (the movie) back our voice. We went too far in listening to every single thing (Disney) told us to do.

It'll look even better now for somebody at home than it ever did for anybody seeing it for the first time in the theater.

189

We're not supervised. We're sort of allowed, like an independent filmmaker, to do what we want. You don't get that freedom anywhere else. And this is the only studio outside of Disney, when Walt Disney ran it, where an artist runs the whole place. Here, it's John Lasseter, and that trickles down.

I'm real comfortable with the offense right now. I think I'm just being patient this year.

The big myth is that we want to make the best computer-animated movie in the world. And it's like, no. We want to make the best movie we can make.

It's like trying to turn an aircraft carrier around. It takes a long time for things to stop, so we took advantage of working very fast and redid a large part of the picture.

147

We only found 30 snaps that were comparable. All we know about (Glanville) is he's aggressive.

139

This is going to be our first test of how good we think we are. As a team, we feel we're able to contend with anyone on our schedule. I think we'll respond to the pressure well.

133

I think in the Big Ten, we're one of the better stadiums. We pack it in there.

They lined it right up at me. They found me because they thought I messed it up the week before, but I knew it was coming. It was a good feeling for me to get that and secure the win at that point.

123

It's huge. This is my biggest win at Michigan State with the magnitude of the rivalry and beating a Top 10 team on the road. This is a great momentum builder.
