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

I'm having the same problems today that I had when I first started, saying that outrageous adult animation works.

My good films were independent and my bad films were not.

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

Wizards was my homage to Tolkien in the American idiom. I had read Tolkien, understood Tolkien, and wanted to do a sort of fantasy for American kids, and that was Wizards.

You cant second-guess yourself as a filmmaker.

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