I see myself as an artist who happens to do cartoons.

Some days you feel like this is really going well. You can tell. Other days, you're just drawing like a farmer and you don't know why.

I hate changes of administrations, because I have all my villains in place and they are all taken away and replaced with faceless wonders nobody knows.

A good adaptation of your book is worth it because it is such a wonderful experience to see your world translated onto the screen.

Worst that can happen is Hagrid’ll have to get rid of the skrewts. Sorry ... did I say worst? I meant best.

If the English want a king, it is their business. If the Russians want communism, it is their business. If the Americans want our form of government, it is our business.

my mother ... took the fact that my taste differed from hers as a personal insult.

Love wants everything without condition, love has no law.

It's almost like I get to be more theatrical when I work in voiceover.
