In timing a film, we used to assume that sneaks move slowly. This was great for animators-thirty-six to forty-eight drawings for a single step-but it was sheer hell for the pace of the picture. So the rapid tiptoe was invented.

When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.

The road is better than the inn.

Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.

Mark Twain's Roughing It is a book that many people don't know about, but I highly recommend to anybody at any age.

Animation isn't the illusion of life; it is life

There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
