Faced with the choice of enduring a bad toothache or going to the dentist, we generally tried to ride out the bad tooth.

I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.

Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our start and built the first phase of our partnership in the movies.

The Christmas parties were orgies of drinking and singing and groping and pawing. Cartoon staffers invested their own money in preparatory liquor.

That's what keeps me going: dreaming, inventing, then hoping and dreaming some more in order to keep dreaming.

My biggest kick comes from the individual fans I run into. Middle-aged men ask me when we're going to do more Johnny Quest cartoons.
