I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you, its governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.

In a few hundred years you have achieved in America what it took thousands of years to achieve in Europe.

We should learn to live and love our neighbors as ourselves for the sake of peace and progress.

Great fear, conformity, immorality: these are heavy burdens. They drain us of creative energy. And when we are drained of creative energy, we do not create. We procreate, but we do not create.

When I did Ben 10, I really didn't know anything about Ben 10. But when I went back to visit my son Pierre and told him what I'd just done, he said "You did a Ben 10?!?" and then he started yelling out to my grandson, "Luca, Luca, come here, Granddaddy did a Ben 10 show."

I love doing animation - mainly because you get to over-act. They're always saying "more," "louder," "bigger," "huger" and you just turn it lose.

So it's a fascinating experience.
