Be the Brad!

"Everyone in Hollywood says they wish they could do it like Pixar, but they really don’t. There’s no secret at Pixar, but there is a belief in letting people pursue something with passion and take chances, and most of Hollywood, really, doesn’t like that. It’s too scary." -Brad Bird, writer/director of The Incredibles, seasons and seasons of The Simpsons, and Iron Giant.

Later he says, "If you worry too much about that, you’re just bound to fail. You have to kind of go into stories with a strong sort of “I’m doing this” sort of attitude, or else it comes off as sort of tiptoeing." -Brad Bird. From – Geoff Boucher in Hero Complex.latimes.com


Good advice. It obviously worked for Mr. Brad Bird!
