There's no better feeling in the world than knowing that my show played a role in stopping animal abuse or alleviating animal suffering.
I'm not an animal lover if that means you think things are nice if you can pat them, but I am intoxicated by animals.
I prefer that animation reach into places where live action doesn't go, and it seems like all of animation nowadays is trying to go where live action is.
I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.
Principal Zito: You got no business in the ring with those animals. Tom Conlon: Actually, I used to be one of those animals
I always believed in animal spirits. It's not their existence that is new. It's the fact that they are not random events, but actually replicate in-bred qualities of human nature which create those animal spirits.
I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.
