I'm a slave to the beats of the story, not to the words we use to tell the story.

I'm pretty strict with anyone on our crew when people start to draw too well or draw some in-betweens in the animation.

If I ever wanted to pick someone's brain, like Larry David would obviously be the most relevant.

If I was ever to ask advice, it could be from any actor or showrunner or writer. I wouldn't necessarily ask an animate. I don't want to say that the wrong way, but animation's not really my world.

I don't necessarily consider myself part of the animation world.

I'm not honestly a real student of animation. I never was into it all that much. I don't really watch any animated shows.

If improv gets reckless, you can feel it. A lot of shows try to do that, I find. When improv is done sloppily. It betrays the story. It can slow down the energy of the story you're telling.

I was never an actor. I had done one or two random projects in my advertising career.

No matter what happens, the world can be pretty ridiculous and people be pretty ridiculous, but how would you react? That's an easy filter to put any story through.

The nature of the writing and the nature of the animation meant that it had to be short.

I found a lot of animators bring a lot of baggage to the party, just that there's a certain way of doing things in that world that's a little hard to unlearn.

The saddest day in the woods is when birds run out of happy songs to sing.

Cada suspiro es como un sorbo de vida del que uno se deshace.

We must choose with our agency to obey in faith that the promised blessing will come, that the promise is true because it comes from God.

The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.

Platonic Love is a fool's name for the affection between a disability and a frost.

What is crime amongst the multitude, is only vice among the few.

Fill your heart with as much love as you can, and don't hold it in.

There are some great values in Christianity, but I think the values are located more deeply in our humanity than they are in our religion. There are certainly some survival values.

I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.

It is a lie that to talk to Hispanics you have to talk about amnesty. Let me tell you, the only Hispanics that are in favor of amnesty are the illegals.
