So now it's a standard. Who knew? I tell people that I'm old and I'm lucky.

I guess you can have an animated scene where you have a kid read from the Bible.

It was a hit because of the morals and humor of a great Midwestern guy.

We thought we had destroyed Peanuts . It just didn't work. And the network didn't like it. It was too slow; we had used kids' voices and that jazz music.

I've always said that the reason 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' is a classic is because it reflects the Midwest values that Charles Schulz grew up with.

That scene will never be obsolete.
