My style is very strong poses and expressions.

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

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.

Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.

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.

One guy records the voices, another guy times the storyboard, another guy times the sheets, one guy is the story editor. All these jobs should be covered by the director.

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