They say I'm a revolutionary, but they're all wrong.

Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.

Lord of the Rings made me realize that I'm not interested in doing anyone else's work.

As an artist, I want to interpret my feelings

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 separate cartooning, which is fun and wacky and soulful, from illustration, which is very well-drawn and extremely uptight to look at. There's a difference. I'm a cartoonist.
