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

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.

So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state.

On deathbed every single good, bad, ugly moment becomes special.

If my child had prejudice in his head, I'd be ashamed. I would see it as my failure as a parent.

In my travels, I have encountered cranes on three continents.

I know that the blacks, take them half enlightened and ignorant, are more humane and merciful than the most enlightened and refined European that can be found in all the earth.

Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.

In the career world we are downsizing. That means the one person that will keep their job will do three or four jobs for the same amount of money. You have to be that way these days.

You don't have to live with anger, or sadness, or jealousy. You don't have to judge yourself, make yourself guilty, and punish yourself.

True believers just don't see things the way they are, because if they did, they wouldn't be true believers anymore.

When I love most, love is disguised. In hate; and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
