Of course I climbed Everest without oxygen, but it’s not the end of the story for me. The summit itself is not what counts. It’s how’d you get there, what’d you climb, and there are really great opportunities to climb on this mountain. It’s a beautiful place.

Coming from the world of animation, every single line counts; every single gesture counts. You put thought into every single one of those things and the way a frame is composed.

To be a manager, you have to perform always. You cannot live in history. It’s now and tomorrow that counts.

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.

I’m not sure whether it counts as a talent, but I love playing ‘Magic: The Gathering.’ It’s mathematical and intellectually challenging, and makes me feel nostalgic for when I played as a kid.

The first less is this: take it from me, every vote counts.
