Live action writers will give you a structure, but who the hell is talking about structure? Animation is closer to jazz than some kind of classical stage structure.

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.

Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.

Too many of Disney animators, and a lot try to emulate Disney, are trying to hit what they call quality levels. They're boring mannerisms.

Its all big money, high rent, high prices in New York City now. The poor people completely got rolled over. I've never seen anything like it in my life. It's disgusting.

I draw what I feel, which is no more than doing my job.

As an artist, I want to interpret my feelings - not run across the street and ask what my mother thinks.
