An animator is an actor with a pencil.

Bugs is who we want to be. Daffy is who we are.

The close-up, according to D.W. Griffith, allows subtle changes of facial expression-the raising of an eyebrow or the flicker of a smile-to become part of the action.

Animation means to invoke life, not to imitate it.

The name 'Chuck Jones', according to my uncle, limited my choice of profession to second baseman or cartoonist.

I have come to know Bugs so well that I no longer have to think about what he is doing in any situation. I let the part of me that is Bugs come to the surface, knowing, with regret, that I can never match his marvelous confidence.
