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.

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.

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

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

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

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

All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.
