I really wanted to be a cartoonist, and I was in 4th or 5th grade and I would bring my drawings in, and I'd look around, and everyone could draw better than me. Everyone. My drawings were just awful. So that's why I had to write. ↗

I have made it a rule for a long time, not to part with the copyright of my drawings, for I have been so copied, my drawings reproduced and sold for advertisements and done in ways I hate. ↗

Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn. ↗

I love drawings, so I've always enjoyed making drawings that exist on their own. ↗
