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.

There is no law that says a man who earned a hundred million dollars in his first half-dozen years on the job has to be a decent human being, but Mike Eisner is that and more.

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

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

When animators weren't sleeping, they were drinking.

After I had done a handful of cartoons I was satisfied with, I started submitting them to the magazines.

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