The children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen our world through their eyes. They restore my faith in the family's future.

I want to live my life, not record it.

I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax?

Even though people may be well known, they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth, marriage and death.

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.

If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

With an apple I will astonish Paris.

I will preach with my brush.

Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.

In art, there is no need for color; I see only light and shade. Give me a crayon, and I will paint your portrait.

Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art.
