In any art movement, the art has to move into a new phase - a filmmaker has a desire to make a film that is not like a previous film.

Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.

Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new - for me, unique - in it.

Animation is manipulating the difference.

I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas.

Unless it's done superbly, as in the Japanese film Gate of Hell, color can be a very distracting element.

I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.

And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same.

By drawing or exposing two or more patterns on the same bit of film I can create harmony and textual effects.

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

So people will come along and do new things and sometimes return to the spirit of an earlier age.

F.O.I. protects the guilty, but not the innocent!

The great society is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goods than with the quantity of their goods.

The United States is off the international spectrum in religious extremism.

Security for agriculture merits serious concern by not only the agricultural community but our nation as a whole. The risk to the U.S. food supply and overall economy is real.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, and it holds the world together.

I have such respect for the art of deejaying. I hesitate to even call myself a deejay.
