Painting does what we cannot do—it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
I'm still astonished that somebody would offer me a job and pay me to do what I wanted to do.
[W]hen the coyote falls, he gets up and brushes himself off; it's preservation of dignity. He's humiliated, and it worries him when he ends up looking like an accordion. A coyote isn't much, but it's better than being an accordion.
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.
A comedian is not a person who opens a funny door - he's the person who opens a door funny.
An idea has no worth at all without believable characters to implement it; a plot without characters is like a tennis court without players. Daffy Duck is to a Buck Rogers story what John McEnroe was to tennis. Personality. That is the key, the drum, the fife. Forget the plot.

An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.
