I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Girls bored me, they still do. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known.

I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
