The more money you have to work with, the more people you have to deal with that you probably don't want to be spending time dealing with.

I wasn't creative or theatrical. I was just doing everything. I was head cheerleader, valedictorian - it was ridiculous!

The whole point of animation to me is to tell a story, make a joke, express an idea. The technique itself doesn't really matter. Whatever works is the thing to use.

Invariably, what I'm trying to do is more ambitious than the budget, but we manage to do it somehow.

I got tired of my taxes paying for exciting little wars around the world. Then I discovered that when I died, my wife would probably have to sell our house to pay for the taxes in America.

I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
