Les Paul Quotes

I like doing everything. That's why I came to Pixar, as opposed to Disney or any other studio - it's small. At the time I started, I was, like, the 10th person in the animation group, and we all had to do everything. That's the way I like it, keeping it fresh.

The fun for me is to mix it all up. I would actually like to do something as far away from what I've just done, just for my own personal joy and growth, for what I want to do.

I just go with the flow, so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.

My directing style has changed over the years. I allow things to breathe a lot more.

I've always been sort of addicted to genre-jumping. I've never been in the mood to do the same thing I did last time. Hence, me going from 'Big Love' to romantic comedy, to period film... I can't sit still.

I get bored doing one thing only. I've been very lucky to explore a lot of different artistic territory and I don't see why I won't continue on that path.

I never wanted to stay in one genre; I never wanted to be pigeon-holed or defined as the actor who only worked in one genre. I want to be able to work in all different genres. For me it's fun, and that's how I grow as an actor.

I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can't. My attitude is always 'let it keep rolling.'

I have never come across a technology that doesn't change. This is inevitable. You have to adapt your systems as technology develops.

If you follow anything that I've ever done, I never stick to one thing more than one year. I'm just afraid to get typecast.

When I was starting out, I always wanted to be able to do everything - comedy and drama and action, and everything in between. Film is so diverse, and it's fun to be able to take advantage of all of it.

I never like to be the same, whether it be comedy or drama, funny or serious.

I just kind of change, constantly, what my focus is. So whatever is stimulating me or inspiring me at the time is what I focus on.

I don't want to limit myself as a writer. Tastes change, and I want to keep my eye on the future.

We don't hold anything back. We go for broke, and if we have a good idea for a story line, we just use it because you never know and because the dynamics of the show are going to change.

I don't have one role that I'm particularly fond of doing, and I don't really look for it to differ all the time, but I will try anything and do anything. If it's a role I connect with, I'll go for it, no matter what's involved.

I think with modelling and acting these days, the lines are blurred. Everyone can do all sorts of things, so why do just one?

We live in a dynamic time, where the rate of change and the rate of innovation are very high. It’s not equal in all segments or sectors of the economy, but we are seeing a lot of innovation in certain sectors, and I expect that to continue.

I don't want to pigeonhole myself in one character or genre. I want to challenge myself as much as I can.

I hate being pigeon-holed into anything. To me, the best thing is when the next job comes and is completely different to the one that I just had.

Every form has its merits. And I like to work in a lot of different forms.

I love changing my roles. I think the most important thing that I can do for myself is to keep changing the genres, the periods, the characters themselves.

It's always nice to be able to play different things.

It's my dream career to do as many different things as possible and for as long as possible, to stretch myself in as many different directions as I can.

I don't like to box myself into anything, because I also sing and I love to dance; I do everything.
