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

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.

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

If you're reading a comic strip, you can read it at any speed you want. But with film and music, the audience has to take it the way the composer gives it.

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

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.

The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.
