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

I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.

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.

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.

Someone's been mean to you! Tell me who it is, so I can punch him tastefully.

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

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.
