Jennifer Yuh Nelson People Quotations

I think it's really nice to have an authenticity, it's a huge source for us to be able to lean on people who have that knowledge.

We actually tried to put in [Kung Fu Panda 3] all the things we wanted to put into the first two films. We're all the same people who've been working on the other films and we all had things we couldn't do, and had to leave on the table. We just couldn't achieve them before. This time we have multiple new environments and different styles of animation.

When people feel safe, they can come up with ideas. It's important to listen to the actor who is there on the stage and living it.

As quiet as I am I find it amazing I can stand in front of hundreds of people now and make a speech because i've had to do it so much. I've so much support from the people around me that I can achieve something like that, crazy introvert that I am, I never would have thought that would happen.

I think more than being a woman is the fact that i'm an introvert. In the environment I work in people forget that i'm a woman which is wonderful it just shows what a wonderful environment i work in, no one treats me differently. They don't think that because i'm a woman i'll make decisions differently.

Lots of people support me and I forget. But sometimes things happen and I remember, and they say I encourage them, it makes me feel very happy.

You have to make sure that people are still motivated and happy and creatively challenged so that it can all be stitched together. The voice acting starts after a lot of the storyboards are done.

It's like being the general of an army [directing a film]. You send people out to die.

When you make a movie, it's just so personal and then you put it out in front of people and it becomes something else.

Sometimes, you just have to go in there and bowl people over with your sheer force of will.
