I can feel my dreams but I can't remember them.

I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.

I've given up asking questions. l merely float on a tsunami of acceptance of anything life throws at me ... and marvel stupidly.

I just like the fact I can make a film which might give comfort to some people who think they are the only crazy person in the world and suddenly they see there are two crazy people in the world.

I was doing political cartoons and getting angry to the point where I felt I was going to have to start making and throwing bombs. I thought I was probably a better cartoonist than a bomb maker.

John Cleese was with a group called Cambridge Circus, who had come to New York, and we became friends. Years later that produced a certain team effort.

I don't think you ever learn just one thing. At some point you start unlearning things. I have been working hard to unlearn everything I know.

You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.

I was an incredible Anglophile. I found people who shared the same sense of humor and attitude toward the world.

Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.

Because I dislike being quoted I lie almost constantly when talking about my work.

Words are like eggs dropped from great heights. You can't ever put the pieces back together after they hit home.

It is time to browse through the precious books that have meant the most to you that you may rediscover illuminating phrases and sentences to light your pathway to the future...

When the time travel is eventually doable technologically, yesterday was dead a man who is going to be born tomorrow.

There is no pain and there are no sorrows. They no longer have permission to live in my today or my tomorrow.

If I'm not working and getting my makeup done, that's my chance to do a hair mask and a face mask and my plucking and waxing and all of that.

I expect this is what death is like when you meet it. Sort of wildly unfair but inevitable.

People say I look younger than the music I'm doing just because the songs are older. Hopefully I can keep my youthful look!

We are prophets of a future not our own.

You know, once you have been through a certain amount of things in life, you definitely grow more comfortable with yourself.

My plays have been strange from the beginning, and they never got unstrange.
