You Cant Second-guess Yourself As A Filmmaker.

Disney Had Such A Hold On The Mind Of America-they Were Adolf Hitler. The Whole Country Thought Disney Was Some Sort Of God And That Animation Was Some Sort Of Pure Thing For Children.

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.

Painting Pictures Didn't Make Me A Lot Of Money. I Have To Eat.

My Good Films Were Independent And My Bad Films Were Not.

Animation Is Tremendously Resilient. Animation Will Recover, As Art Always Recovers. There's Always Cycles Of Good Art.
