All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.

Girls bored me, they still do. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known.

I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.

leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.

I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.
