I don't think of cartoons or comics as being for kids.

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

I think a lot of the Disney cartoons are scary when you watch them at a young age.

Kids are no longer interested in reading comic books; they've got television and the electronic games that they can bury themselves in like ostriches. They don't have to pay attention to what's going on in the world around them.

People go into cartooning because they're shy and they're angry. That's when you're sitting in the back of a classroom drawing the teacher.

I'm not up on today's television for children, because it's mostly cartoons that don't seem to interest me.

Cartoon violence is something very vivid and dark but made palatable for children in a fun way. That's the kind of comedy I do - I try to take subjects that might seem deep and make them as silly as possible.

I'm not a big fan of kids' movies that have this knowing snarkiness to them or this post-modern take on storytelling. I think that sails right over the heads of most kids. There's something to be said for a well-told fairy tale. There's a reason that these mythic stories stay with us.

I never read comics as a kid. I guess I was lazy and watched cartoons instead.
