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.

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.
