I find it very hard to sit down and create an idea or especially a new character on command. Usually my characters evolve by accident out of some story context.

To make something look real and alive, nothing can be symmetrical because nothing in real life is symmetrical. You have to make it look organic.

In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.

I think we are destroying the minds of America and that has been one of my lifelong ambitions.

I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.

As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.

Joe Barbera's s always complaining that he can't get humor into cartoons anymore. Just do it. You've got your money. Why do they let the networks run their lives?

My style is very strong poses and expressions.

Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.

-Хүү минь, чи надад ямар ч өргүй гэж бодож явах эрхийг би чамд олголоо.

See I'm the reckless and wild one who saves him from being boring. It's why we're perfect for each other. We balance. - Madame Selena

Do not allow what you long for...., prevent you from enjoying the moment. Be joyful in the present, at the appointed time your wish will be granted.

You may live in an unknown small village, but if you have big ideas, the world will come and find you!

Democracy...is a society in which the unbeliever feels undisturbed and at home. If there were only a half dozen unbelievers in America, their well-being would be a test of our democracy.

When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a baseball player and also join the circus. With the Yankees, I've accomplished both.

It amazes me how little common curtesy people can show when their tested.

I love music because it's so fecking brilliant. Music is math, and math is the structure of everything and pretty much perfect.

I stop working at about 3 p.m. on Fridays.

What do I believe? I believe in God, if he exists.
