Painting Pictures Didn't Make Me A Lot Of Money. I Have To Eat.
Its All Big Money, High Rent, High Prices In New York City Now. The Poor People Completely Got Rolled Over. I've Never Seen Anything Like It In My Life. It's Disgusting.
I'm From The East Coast. I Love The City. I Love The Characters. I Love The Kind Of People We Are, The Kind Other People Look At In Amazement.
I Hired Bob At Terrytoons. He Was My Assistant Animator, And Then Became An Animator Himself. He Had Just Come From Boston With His Family And Was A Brilliant Draftsman As Well As A Great Jazz Guitarist. We Had Lots Of Fun Nights In Greenwich Village Together And Then Later Hanging In La. Bob Worked On Fritz The Cat , Heavy Traffic , Coonskin , And On Wizards . I Am Terribly Saddened By His Passing And Will Miss Him Dearly.
Look What Disney's Done To Their Animation Department. There Wasn't An Animator In Charge Of Their Animation Unit!
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.
Lord Of The Rings Made Me Realize That I'm Not Interested In Doing Anyone Else's Work.
I Would Like To Have The Original Ending To My Lord Of The Rings Instead Of The One They Released. In My Original Cut I Had The Victory At Helm's Deep As The Final Sequence.
I Miss Animation Very Passionately. Not Continuously, But Every Once In A While I Would Die To Do Another Film.
The Rise Of Anime Had To Happen. If The Japanese Could Tell Better American Stories, It Would Go Through The Roof. They Still Tell Stories Which Are Very Much Oriental. I Take My Hat Off To Them.
All The Old Great Companies Were Run By Guys Who Knew What An Animator Meant, And Guys Who Knew How To Draw. All The Companies Today Are Run By Executives.
