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.

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.

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

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

Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.

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.

I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.
