“It means so much to me to actually be a part of this film in some small way just because it’s such an incredible world of imagination and playfulness and mischief and humor and comedy and tragedy. It’s raised so many kids, just like me. I watched Toy Story when I was five, and I’ve watched every single one of the films so many times. So I really think that like, to be able to be welcomed into something that has welcomed me unknowingly its entire existence, just as a fan, feels very poignant for me and for my family.”

“I think the thing about Jessie’s story in Toy Story 5, without spoiling anything about the film, is that we’ve seen her since the second film and we’ve loved her since then and we’ve seen her go through such heartbreak and such triumphs and loss and we’ve learned her backstory. But in Toy Story 5, we see such a character development, and really lessons that I could relate to as she’s grown up and as she’s learned more about her experiences and her memories, not just with Bonnie but also with Emily.”

“I think when people hear the song I Knew It, I Knew You at the end of Toy Story 5, I think that it would be really awesome if they thought of someone that they had amazing memories with, that they haven’t seen in a long time, or someone that they miss, knowing that that person could come back into their life, or just the feeling that sometimes people’s paths diverge and that doesn’t mean that that’s the last time that you get to feel those memories or know that person. And sometimes when you look back on your childhood, those memories—that’s special in itself.”
