Mel Blanc has been gone for 30 years, even though he's still around.

From 20 years of experience hiring artists out of the schools, I know-they get worse every year. They're absolutely ridiculously retarded now.

I'm still proud of what I've done, even if it hasn't been the biggest song on the radio or hasn't gone to number one.

It's the same as Keith Richards. People still ask him the same questions they asked him 30 years ago, even though he's a completely different person. And I'm a completely different person than I was 15 years ago.

He looks as though he's been weaned on a pickle.

Open a magazine from the 1930s and '40s and look at the illustrations in it. There's nobody alive that could touch the way they could draw back then.
