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.

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

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.

They say I'm a revolutionary, but they're all wrong.

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

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.
