Artists don't need criticism, artists need love

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

You can't force inspiration. It's like trying to catch a butterfly with a hoop but no net. If you keep your mind open and receptive, though, one day a butterfly will land on your finger.

Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.

Humiliation and indifference, these are conditions every one of us finds unbearable — this is why the Coyote when falling is more concerned with the audience’s opinion of him than he is with the inevitable result of too much gravity.

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

The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
