Sweetheart, I'm the biggest ripped-off cartoonist in the history of the world, and that's all I'm going to say.

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 animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.

I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.

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.

I would like to have the original ending to my Lord of the Rings instead of the one they released. In my original cut I had the victory at Helm's Deep as the final sequence.

I'm the first to admit that I can't be as good as Tolkien, and a movie can never be as good as Tolkien.
