Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else.

Every animator is really an actor performing in slow motion, living the character a drawing at a time.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.

Though the Holy Spirit is God, equal in essence to the Father and the Son, yet his role is consistently to defer honor, to seek to bring about the glory of another.

Not sure if I need a glass of wine or a gun or both.

I think the print media have failed to make the most of their opportunity. They may all disappear because they are approaching things in the wrong way.

The present is never a happy state to any human being.

History is a blood-drenched enigma and the world an error.
