苹果公司的员工的确都很出色,但皮克斯的员工更是“好中之好” 。那里有专门研究电脑特技的博士,可以做出来3d效果的花草树木,还有世界上技术最好的在电影中放入图像的工程师。不仅如此,和苹果比起来,皮克斯的涉猎范围更大,但关键性的东西更少。皮克斯有450名员工,但如果你去了有2000个员工的公司,也找不到这么出色的团队。

pixar's got by far and away the best puter graphibsp;talent in the entire world, and it now has the best animation and artistibsp;talent in the whole world to do these kinds of film. there’s really no one else in the world who could do this stuff. it’s really phenomenal. we're probably close to ten years ahead of anybody else. what a puter is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever e up with. it’s the equivalent of a bicybsp;for our minds. being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.
there’s no yabsp;in my future, i’ve never done this for the money.
one of the reasons i think microsoft took ten years to copy the mabsp;is‘cause they didn’t really get it at its core.
innovation has virtually ceased, microsoft dominates with very little innovation. apple lost. the desktop market has entered the dark ages.

纵观整个世界,皮克斯公司是最优秀的电脑绘图公司,它拥有世界上最出色的艺术人才和动画片绘制人才。它拍摄的电影是其他公司望尘莫及的。皮克斯确实是个非凡的公司,我们领先于其他同行大概十年的时间。
电脑对我而言,是一种最非凡的工具,在我心中,它和自行车的地位是一样的。
成为坟墓中最有钱的人,对我来说毫无意义;晚上上床睡觉前能够说声我们已漂亮地干完了活儿,这对于我来说妙不可言。
我的未来不需要游艇,我做这个从来都不是为了钱。</p>
