Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting.
When I was a kid, a book I read advised young artist to be themselves. That decided it for me. I was a corny kind of guy, so I went in for corn.
I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean.
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
I never intended to make art.
In learning the art of storytelling by animation, I have discovered that language has an anatomy.
I don't know if it's art, but I know I like it.
