The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.

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.

My style is very strong poses and expressions.

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.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

Why do people feel better when they blame someone? I don’t know. Maybe it just feels better to be angry than to be sad.

Building my career hasn't been attached to my dad. It's been me figuring things out for myself.

I have always been very open and earnest about some things in my life, some things that are not directly in my life, but they're twirling around me at the time.

Nothing good ever comes from worrying or sitting there feeling sorry for yourself... Keep positive and keep pushing on and things will turn good.

There is hardly anything that an ingenious mind cannot bring itself to doubt, granted sufficient industry and application.

One should not be envious of someone who has prospered by unjust deeds. Nor should he disdain someone who has fallen while adhering to the path of righteousness.

The resistance to black-and-white is huge, in the way that you have to sell the film. It's difficult to distribute around the world.

I'm not sticking up for white kids - I'm going to have a barrage of hate mail - but it's true. If you're poor, you're really poor.

For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.

First of all, I don't think that America is truly prepared for a biological or a chemical attack. However, we are moving in the right direction.
