"[Grizzly bear roars at Flynn's Wilhelm scream] Flynn, look out!"
"Well, Byron and I love a good challenge. The idea of creating this hair, 70 feet of hair in a CGI film. When you go back and look at any other CGI film, hair is usually in a bob or it’s short, because technically it’s a pain to do. Up until this point it’s been pretty impossible at times to have people interact with it at times."
"When Glen [Keane] was doing drawing after drawing, we actually had a baseball cap with 70-foot long strands of string on it so that the animators could run around and see what that feels like. And we photographs…we had women who had never had their hair cut in 20–30 years come in and we looked at how it behaves once it gets past a certain length. What does that feel like? What’s the texture like? And, of course, we were just talking about this with one of the other guys, we had this brilliant team of technicians who were working on the hair for about six or seven years before the release of the film, and right up until the last minute we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to pull it off, because it was behaving so bizarrely. At one point it was looking like fabric, at one point it was looking like string, or synthetic nylon… it didn’t look like hair yet. All these layers that we had to add, like clumping and static electricity and now it just looks like natural, beautiful hair, but the effort behind it is mammoth."
"The braid was great because there is a point where you don’t want to think about the hair as a hindrance anymore and you just want to pay attention to her emotional journey and it was a great way to change her look mid-way through the movie. Even weaving that braid in CGI was so hard. We had to ask the woman of the studio who actually knew how to do it, we had to watch it so carefully, model it – it was nuts."
"Get tangled up."
"They're taking adventure to new lengths."
"A holiday motion picture event that takes adventure to new lengths."

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
