I don't really know what the average person thinks about animation. I think the average person thinks that it's made by cartoonists - and it used to be. When people think of The Simpsons, they think of Matt Groening. They don't think of whoever the 200 writers are.

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.

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.

Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.

In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.

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

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