When I was a kid, if I liked something from merchandising, I’d have to go to the toy store.
Primarily I’m a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.
This is our lance. See, you’re making me laugh about this now, because there have been a few jokes on the set about what they actually look like. But, see, I personally think they’d be a great toy. So… just batteries aren’t included.
I’m a big toy collector. I’ve been slowing down because my money’s been tight, but I collect toys, too.
Toy time is holding steady, but kids are spending more time on digital, and toys need to adapt.
My parents were dishonest people. If it was my birthday, I knew my mother took me to the K-Mart and she stole my toy. She’d put it in the shopping cart and we’d walk out. I was raised with that.
Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn’t think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination.
Young children seem to be learning who to share this toy with and figure out how it works, while adolescents seem to be exploring some very deep and profound questions: ‘How should this society work? How should relationships among people work?’ The exploration is: ‘Who am I, what am I doing?’
As kids, we have all handled shot guns. From there on, there is no transition. It stays in the toy box. The idea is to get the transition and bridge the gap between the toy box and the shooting range.
It defies common sense that stores are fined for selling toy guns to children, but someone who isn’t even allowed to board an airplane in this country can purchase as many real guns he wants with no questions asked.
People in Silicon Valley are starting to realize politics is not a toy.
I always loved watching films. I’ve always been active, pretending I was a Power Ranger or a Ninja Turtle. I remember watching ‘Toy Story.’ I think that was one of my first movies.
A vacation home is a wonderful ‘extra’ as you start building wealth. Remember, though, it’s still basically a very large, very expensive toy.
A small child from a developing country has the advantage, from a very early age, of having access to toys which structure his mind, which constitute a sure advantage over the little African child who has never even held a modern toy.
A tennis racket lurks in my earliest memories like a sick relative who had come to live with us. When I look at my baby pictures, there it is, resting in my crib in the place of a rattle or chew toy.
With certain ideas, you can predict commercial success. So with a ‘Toy Story 3’ or a ‘Cars 2,’ you know the idea is more likely to have financial success. But if you go down that path too far, you become creatively bankrupt because you’re just trying to repeat yourself.
Bedtime rituals for children ease the way to the elsewhere of slumber – teeth brushing and pajamas, the voice of a parent reading, the feel and smell of the old blanket or toy, the nightlight glowing in a corner.
Music was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time – and I liked it. I still like being alone.
They’re just not into doing sequels after Toy Story so I don’t think that’s a possibility. But if they did, well sure, you’d have to do it. And I’d want to do it.
Robots already perform many functions, from making cars to defusing bombs – or, more menacingly, firing missiles. Children and adults play with toy robots, while vacuum-cleaning robots are sucking up dirt in a growing number of homes and – as evidenced by YouTube videos – entertaining cats.
Eventually I found it had been working all along-but didn’t show anything on screen until it had the first full page of text. I inserted 30 new lines, and suddenly my toy said ‘hEllO woRlD’. An hour later I understood alphabet shifting rather better!
There’s always going to be someone with a bigger toy than yours.
You take one bomber and deploy him in Baghdad, and another is manufactured in Riyadh the next day. It’s exactly like when you take the toy off the shelf at Wal-Mart and another is made in Shen Zhen the next day.
Seeing games become more of a young person thing, I feel like a toy I grew up with has been left behind. I don’t want to. I want this thing to be respected by adults. I want this thing to be growing with me. It’s important to have games that could be more nuanced and reflective of the real world and relevant to adults.
I really love ‘Toy Story’ a lot. It’s what I grew up with.
When I was 8, my favorite toy was a stapler. My brother was afraid of me.
My new toy is not knowing, because it’s very creative. I’m the guy who likes to get in the car and get lost.
My mother’s rules had to do with feminine deportment, so I never played hard enough to break a toy or muddy my dress. My father’s rules had to do with never shaming the family by even a hint of scandal, and not providing business rivals with an opportunity to kidnap me or throw acid in my face.
The new game that I’m working on will be called ‘FNAF World.’ It will not be a horror game, but a role playing game where you create a party using the huge selection of characters from the ‘FNaF’ games, including the classic, withered, toy, phantom, and nightmare versions.
When I was a kid, I had a xylophone, and I thought that was the instrument I wanted to play. I didn’t realize it was a toy.
I’ve bought every toy I ever wanted.
Boston’s freeway system is insane. It was clearly designed by a person who had spent his childhood crashing toy trains.
With ‘Toy Story,’ which is a fantastic film but is essentially animation, you get to make all your decisions beforehand. ‘Jumanji’ is shot much like any other action film.
If you are a gun manufacturer, the product you make is not subject to safety regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Toy guns are subject to safety regulation; water pistols are, but not real guns.
Each of the ‘Toy Story’s are telling an emotional story, but they’re comedic. They’re so successful creatively in terms of the stories they’re telling. And they’re pretty grounded.
I would say the best toy for any cat is always some sort of dangling item on a string or fishing-rod-type structure.
I couldn’t make a headphone look like a piece of medical equipment or a toy, as most headphones do.
I thought boxes were the best toy. When my parents got a new car, I ran to my mother and said, ‘Did it come in a box?’
Like most people, I was not able to start selling my stories right away. So I had many other jobs along the way to becoming a writer, including toy maker, gravedigger, cookware salesman, and assembly line worker. Eventually, I became an elementary teacher and worked with second and fourth graders.
Dad bought me a toy drum one Christmas, and I eventually destroyed it. I wanted a real drum and he bought me a snare drum. Dad continued to buy me one drum after the other.

I came from product design originally – I had been designing dolls for a toy company since I was 16 – so I’m used to working with plastic and different things. I had an innate interest in objects.
I never wanted ‘Toy Story 3’ to feel like another sequel just grafted on. We all know that if you put 3 after your title, it typically means garbage, and we knew that going in.
When I was a kid, I went to the store and asked the guy, Do you have any toy train schedules?
The simplest toy, one which even the youngest child can operate, is called a grandparent.
Dante didn’t work out, and then we found Ryan. He worked at a comic, record and toy store in Fremont.
Camera companies, like traditional phone manufacturers, dismissed the iPhone as a toy when it launched in 2007. Nokia thought that the iPhone used inferior technology; the camera makers thought that it took lousy pictures. Neither thought that they had anything to worry about.
I just found the piano so fascinating and wonderful, and I begged my parents to buy me one. In the end, they bought me a toy piano and eventually an upright piano, and I started lessons.
Sometimes when I speak to groups or I’m interviewed by a journalist, I ask them to imagine their communities without Girl Scouts – to imagine the thousands of food drives and clothing and toy collections that would never take place if not for Girl Scouts.
You want to have a toy and another toy, and that’s not maturity. The biggest things in life are not materials.
If little else, the brain is an educational toy.
No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.
If my little girl wants a toy or something, sometimes I say, ‘I don’t have the money’. It’s quite difficult to understand why I’m saying that, but she needs to understand that nothing comes easy.
