Anyone can say 'no'. It is the first word a child learns and often the first word he speaks. It is a cheap word because it requires no explanation, and many men and women have acquired a reputation for intelligence who know only this word and have used it in place of thought on every occasion.
Disney was not a good animator, he didn't draw well at all, but he was always a great idea man, and a good writer.
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
I think it was the intent of both Washington Township and North Central to bring in as qualified of a coach as we could,
Every great artist must begin by learning to draw with the single line, and my advice to young animators is to learn how to live with that razor-sharp instrument or art. An artist who comes to me with eight or ten good drawings of the human figure in simple lines has a good chance of being hired. But I will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of Bugs Bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
We must not confuse distortion with innovation; distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
The Coyote is limited, as Bugs is limited, by his anatomy.
Censorship, I believe, is the most dangerous enemy to all human communication, and piety of intention is probably the most dangerous, the most virulent and the most self-satisfying.
Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
