I used to watch nature shows and laugh at them. Everyone thought I was crazy. "Why are you laughing at a nature show?" Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it beautiful watching hyenas eat their young? This was crazy! What's beautiful about nature is just insane. A bunch of crazy stuff happening.

If you're a kid wanting to be a cartoonist today, and you're looking at Family Guy, you don't have to aim very high.

The storyboard department doesn't talk to the layout department, which doesn't talk to the writing department. They're all jealous of each other.

There are artists who are writers, but there was no such thing as cartoons that were written by somebody who couldn't draw.

I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.

From 20 years of experience hiring artists out of the schools, I know-they get worse every year. They're absolutely ridiculously retarded now.

My style is very strong poses and expressions.
