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.

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.

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.

The king shall joy in thy strength O Lord and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! Thou hast given him his heart's desire and hast not withheld the request of his lips.

Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.

I do not fall. I fell so hard so long ago there is nothing left for me to land on. I just keep falling and falling and falling.

The more we learn about the wonders of our universe, the more clearly we are going to perceive the hand of God.

Music, to me, is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.

The comics are where all the crazy subconscious stuff comes out.

Couples should keep their love pure before it poisons the purest love of all - that between them and their children

When God demands more of you, it's because He sees more IN you

Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.

I don't need to be 19 years old or starve myself for some weight or turn men's heads down that road. And thank God I finally know that.
