High-level, big-deal publicity has a way of getting old for me, but what never fails to thrill me is when I make personal appearances.

Los Angeles was an impression of failure, of disappointment, of despair, and of oddly makeshift lives. This is California? I thought.

I don't know that I spent any more time alone than any other kid, but being by myself never bothered me.

I was convinced there as only one actor to play Templeton the Rat, and that was Tony Randall.

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

Publicity gets more than a little tiring. You want it, you need it, you crave it, and you're scared as hell when it stops.

I cannot say who, precisely, came up with the idea of a Stone Age family.
