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.

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

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.

For so I created them free and free they must remain.

Under a night’s skyFilled with a hundred billion starsIs it so crazy to believeOur paths were destined to cross?

A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.

Global warming is real - it is man-made and it is an important problem. But it is not the end of the world.

The kind of crabbing my wife likes to do is to return from an afternoon's swim or sunbathing session, open the refrigerator door, and find a generous plate of crab cakes all ready to cook.

The family dinner table is the cornerstone of civilization and those who 'graze' from refrigerators or in front of the television sets are doomed to remain in a state of savagery.

And there's no better way to thaw a face, as it turns out, than with another face.

I am in love with cars; I love anything that moves.

The first sign of tyranny is government's complicity in privatizing the commons for private gain.

I go to mass every Sunday, but love going to mosques too. Muslims pray in a beautiful way.
