As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.

To make something look real and alive, nothing can be symmetrical because nothing in real life is symmetrical. You have to make it look organic.

I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose.

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

I think we are destroying the minds of America and that has been one of my lifelong ambitions.

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.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.
