My style is very strong poses and expressions.

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?

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.

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.

By the time Talking Heads were starting, my feeling was to throw out everything and start from scratch onstage; strip it down to as close to zero as you can get and then you can make it yours.

My twin's not broken. He's ruined. Do you understand the difference? With broken maybe you can fix him. Ruined? All you can do is wait to bury him.

The one that rambles for a million miles, yes, I walk down this road searching for your love.

At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.

Repetition is the father of learning.

I do write my own music, and I also have been doing a lot of non-Beatle covers, just singing whatever I want to sing, the way I want to sing. But it can be hard to find the time to do that.
