"When I first joined Pixar in 2011, I was one of a handful of women in the story department, one of four in a group of 30 or 40. Now, being on a movie with a predominantly female creative leadership [Turning Red] in the span of 10 years, that in and of itself is kind of crazy. Especially because it takes five or six years to make a movie here."
