"Toy Story 3"
By CBS News.com producer David Morgan

When asked what he hopes to achieve next, Newman replied, "Well, I would like to still get better, you know? What I have been doing since I was 15 is writing songs and making records. There's a lot of evidence that people do their best work before they're 25, you know? These pants are 25! And my last record I thought was good and not inferior to anything I've done. I like to get better at that, at what I am doing. And writing music is difficult, I find. Tthere's a lot of challenges to it just inherent in the field. It's just not easy for me."
When asked advice for young people who might want to break into the music business today, Newman said, "Who would want to break into it? It's like a bank that's already been robbed!"
When asked if the Best Picture nominations for "Toy Story 3" (and last year's for "Up") meant the Academy was becoming more accepting of animation, Unkrich said, "I do. I think the fact that two years running now we have had animated films that have made it and received Best Picture nominations show that the walls between live action and animation are becoming a bit more permeable. I think we have a ways to go, but I think the fact that we made it into that category twice now, we have accomplished something.
"Hopefully, eventually people will just vote with their heart and if they truly think that a film moved them the most or excited them the most and it happens to be animated, that someday an animated film could win Best Picture."
