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

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

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.

John [Kricfalusi] is so arrogant. He thinks he's me!

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

Every character in each of my movies is a different side of myself.
