Zitat des Tages über Walt Disney:
We start out talking about the story, trying to figure out who is who and what should happen, taking notes the whole time. Then I do a rough layout of the issue, showing what happens on each page. Then we discuss that some more.
I find that I can't work and listen to radio - either I find I don't like it and it distracts me, or I do like it and I want to listen to it.
I wouldn't mind the rat race - if the rats would lose once in a while.
Retro looking stuff but a lot of these guys doing these shows are my age or younger. I was just disgusted. I hated being around that kind of thing. Not that it affected what I did because when it comes down to it I was doing my own show.
So, what's it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don't recommend it.
I was convinced there as only one actor to play Templeton the Rat, and that was Tony Randall.
If you think about it, for any kind of content on the web, the natural price per unit of these things should be under a dollar.
But I married a guy who treated me very badly, but I was happy. I was miserable, so I was happy.
If you know anything about ducks, you know a baby duck will imprint itself on you. It misses its mother.
Most TV shows don't reward you for paying attention.
Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?
I've tried lots of things. The reality is, I'm excited by everything on Day 1. And if by Day X things aren't working the way I hoped, I lose my passion. I have not seen the correlation between my passion and my success.
I think I'm maintaining the quality, but internally I'm paying for it.
But now that I'm cartooning full-time, I'm more of an observer. I'm talking to people who are experiencing these things. But it's not like being in the trenches.
The rare opportunity of writing music for a movie about the making of 'Mary Poppins' was impossible to ignore. The fact that it could provide emotional content in relief of the struggles that the Sherman brothers and Walt Disney endured was reason enough to take on the challenge.
Up until 1995, I still had a day job that I hated. I was still personally involved in things in the 90s.
I just met someone who read Gone With the Wind 62 times for exactly that same reason. She couldn't bear that it wasn't real. She wanted to live in it.
I like to feel that what I'm doing portrays this: a family where there is love between mother, father and the kids. It's a subject that is near and dear to me.
My cartoon life is in my office, and it's very separate and getting very in my own head. My television life is I'm begging one of the actors to say the line in the way I'd like them to.
All the power to them but I'm not interested in making yet another show that looks like some other show.
If you haven't signed anything, you cant be ripped off.
In a way, a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing, because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you've achieved, you can still make enemies makes you humble, too.
Yes, but personally I was never a big acid head.
We don't devote enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.
I've always despised old people. I got angry at my father when he began to show signs of age.
In a world of cell phones and satellite feeds - a world in which the president can sit in the White House situation room and watch a military action unfold on the other side of the world - it is not realistic to expect TV news to be anything but what it has become: a ceaseless flow of words and images that may or may not be accurate.
Except for me, no one in my family could draw.
'Family Guy' has this weird thing of attracting people. People either hate it or can't get enough of it. There's really no one in between.
Ever since I'm done with Zim everyone thinks that I'm going to go back to comics. I've been flooded with emails asking me if I'm working on the new Johnny over and over again.
I work hard at my job, and I guess hard work pays off.
I have always loved horror very much. I used to write stories for DC's House of Mystery. It was one of my first jobs writing for comics, and I loved it.
Everyone says how Calvin and Hobbes is about a real kid, to me there's nothing real about it; it's an adult using a kid's body as a mouthpiece.
I could go through a lot of my old emails from when I first started doing comics. Back then the lowest age of fans was like 15 or 16 up to people in their 20's and 30's.
I think Dilbert is actually a radical strip.
For every issue, I send four pages of finished marginals and they select the ones they need.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
