A comedian is not a person who opens a funny door - he's the person who opens a door funny.

Every great artist must begin by learning to draw with the single line, and my advice to young animators is to learn how to live with that razor-sharp instrument or art. An artist who comes to me with eight or ten good drawings of the human figure in simple lines has a good chance of being hired. But I will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of Bugs Bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.

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.

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

The only time a wife listens to her husband is when he’s asleep.

If you were to draw Bugs, the easiest way is to learn how to draw a carrot and then hook a rabbit onto it

Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.
