John Lasseter Car Quotations

'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.

'Cars' is a really personal story for me because, first of all, I grew up in Los Angeles - the car crazy capital.

Car love is the sound of a throaty V-8 rumbling and revving, the acceleration throwing you back in the seat - especially when you get on a beautiful, winding road and the light's dappling through the trees.

Fortunately for me, I'm married to an amazing woman - Nancy Lasseter - who is wise enough not to let me buy every car I want. If I was single, I would be living in a very small apartment and renting a warehouse full of cool cars.

I'm a car nut. My father was a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership.
