Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

You buy any book on color theory today, and it's just complete poppycock. Everybody comes out of school painting pink, purple and green. The whole damn cartoon industry has pink purple and green on their mind.

You can draw Family Guy when you're 10 years old. You don't have to get any better than that to become a professional cartoonist. The standards are extremely low.

The storyboard department doesn't talk to the layout department, which doesn't talk to the writing department. They're all jealous of each other.

All artists get better with age. The more you draw, the better you're going to get.

As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.

Cartoonists are untrained artists, while illustrators are more trained.

From 20 years of experience hiring artists out of the schools, I know-they get worse every year. They're absolutely ridiculously retarded now.

George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.

I don t think cartoons are only for kids, but I think kids will love anything as long as it's visually interesting.

I'll let you in on a secret: I can't stand Jay Ward. I hate being compared to Rocky and Bullwinkle. It's just a different style of humor.

If you're a kid wanting to be a cartoonist today, and you're looking at Family Guy, you don't have to aim very high.

In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.

Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.

Mel Blanc has been gone for 30 years, even though he's still around.

Most cartoons are those colors. They have been for 35 years.

My intended audience was everybody. I just want to make cartoons for human beings.

My style is very strong poses and expressions.

Not very many people can draw who are illustrators today.

Open a magazine from the 1930s and '40s and look at the illustrations in it. There's nobody alive that could touch the way they could draw back then.
