I thought I was going to make crazy cartoons for the rest of my life. I didn't think I'd ever get paid for it, didn't think I drew well enough, but I knew it made me happy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cartooning was a good fit for me. And yet now, years later, I almost never think about it.
I was always into cartoons and animation.
When I was a freshman in high school, I read a book about the making of Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty' called 'The Art of Animation.' It was this weird revelation for me, because I hadn't considered that people actually get paid to make cartoons.
When I was in middle school, I liked to make cartoons.
I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.
I see myself as an artist who happens to do cartoons.
I wanted to be a cartoonist. I was one of those kids who sat around and drew in my room all the time.
I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.
I don't think there's more than half-a-dozen cartoons that I've been really truly happy with in all the time I've been doing it.
I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
