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

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

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.

I wouldn't leave Disney to do Disney.

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.

Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!

My movies continue to be found and be sold because there's something going on in them.
