I don't believe in censorship, but i do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there. and i think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if you're being careless or frivolous in what you're saying.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

"she kept saying she wanted to keep things exactly the way they were, and that she wished she could stop everything from changing. she got really nervous, like, talking about the future. she once told me that she could see herself now, and she could also see the kind of life she wanted to have - kids, husband, suburbs, you know - but she couldn't figure out how to get from point a to point b.

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.

You're a rotten driver,' i protested. 'either you ought to be more careful or you oughtn't to drive at all.' 'i am careful.' 'no, you're not.' 'well, other people are,' she said lightly. 'what's that got to do with it?' 'they'll keep out of my way,' she insisted. 'it takes two to make an accident.' 'suppose you met somebody just as careless as yourself.' 'i hope i never will,' she answered. 'i hate careless people. that's why i like you.' her grey, sun-strained eyes stared straight ahead, but she had deliberately shifted our relations, and for a moment i thought i loved her.
