I learned long ago to accept the fact that not everything I create will see the light of day.

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

Except for me, no one in my family could draw.

Among the great glories of the MGM lot were the vast outdoor sets that had been constructed over the years.

Creating fantasy is a very personal thing, but you can't take the process too personally.

Making cartoons means very hard work at every step of the way, but creating a successful cartoon character is the hardest work of all.

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