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.

Joe Barbera's s always complaining that he can't get humor into cartoons anymore. Just do it. You've got your money. Why do they let the networks run their lives?

I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.

There's tons of people with talent; it's the system that's all screwed up.

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.

George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.
