I am not interested in slickness for the sake of slickness.

Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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