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

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 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.

Painting pictures didn't make me a lot of money. I have to eat.

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

It's curtains for you, Mighty Mouse! This gun is so futuristic that even I don't know how it works!

I'm from the East Coast. I love the city. I love the characters. I love the kind of people we are, the kind other people look at in amazement.
