Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.

I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.

What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.

My good films were independent and my bad films were not.

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.
