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.

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

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

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

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.
