For every laugh, there should be a tear.
I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.
If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's done right.
