I don't necessarily consider myself part of the animation world.

I'm pretty strict with anyone on our crew when people start to draw too well or draw some in-betweens in the animation.

If I ever wanted to pick someone's brain, like Larry David would obviously be the most relevant.

If I was ever to ask advice, it could be from any actor or showrunner or writer. I wouldn't necessarily ask an animate. I don't want to say that the wrong way, but animation's not really my world.

I'm not honestly a real student of animation. I never was into it all that much. I don't really watch any animated shows.

I'm a slave to the beats of the story, not to the words we use to tell the story.

If improv gets reckless, you can feel it. A lot of shows try to do that, I find. When improv is done sloppily. It betrays the story. It can slow down the energy of the story you're telling.

I was never an actor. I had done one or two random projects in my advertising career.

No matter what happens, the world can be pretty ridiculous and people be pretty ridiculous, but how would you react? That's an easy filter to put any story through.

The nature of the writing and the nature of the animation meant that it had to be short.

I found a lot of animators bring a lot of baggage to the party, just that there's a certain way of doing things in that world that's a little hard to unlearn.

The ladder of leadership can only stand firm on the grounds of integrity. Any other ground makes it unstable till it falls.

Arise and shine.Arise and fulfill your destiny.

The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.

I allowed myself to suffer how jarringly destructive the present feels and how fragile the past.

I very much admire Sheryl Sandberg for what she has done. I really do. But Sandberg's narrative also implies: "Well, it's your fault if you couldn't make it." There is a certain injustice in that.

One can only forget about time by making use of it.

We have to confront the reality of our world, and make the hard decisions about which way we want to move forward.

We criticize people for not giving us what we ourselves are afraid to ask for.

As I walk .. as I walk .. / The universe .. is walking with me .. / Beautifully .. it walks before me .... / Beautifully .. on every side .... / As I walk .. I walk with beauty.

I grew up in a refugee camp in Uganda, and I lived there for 30 years. That shapes one's character.
