You can't really call yourself an environmentalist if you're still consuming animals. You just can't.
Usually when I mention suspended animation, people will flash me the Vulcan sign and laugh.
A beautiful death is for people who lived like animals to die like angels—loved and wanted.
I talk to trees and animals. We have interesting conversations about food, weather, and love. They sometimes can predict the future.
When you meet the farmers and go to the farms, you see that they treat their animals like they're family. It makes a big difference.
If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.
I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.
Mainly I'm a vegan because I like animals, and I don't want to be involved in their suffering. Also, it's better for my health and for the environment.
I was a little shocked at how adult some of the humor was, because I was never that into animation before and when I watched 'Shrek' I really laughed out loud.
It has been generally the custom of writers on natural history to take the habits and instincts of animals as the fixed point, and to consider their structure and organization as specially adapted to be in accordance with them.
What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.
We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.
There is no moral distinction between fur and other materials made from animals, such as leather, which also is the result of the suffering and death of sentient beings.
I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal.
Hand-drawn animation is something that I feel really strongly about. A Pixar movie may be really great, but it looks like it was drawn by a machine.
One good thing about animation is that, if you do screw up a line, they won't use it. You can keep going until it's right.
But the animation has become very good, and I think that a movie is not a book, and a book is not a movie.
In terms of writing characters or stories, at least initially, there's no difference between live-action and animation. A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.
I think that 'Family Guy' is hysterical. It's edgy and hip - and they can do whatever they want to do because it's animated and they're not limited by budget.
False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
