My parents were very, very, very strict.

We're all comedy fans in my family. My parents mainly wouldn't let me watch stuff that was either annoying to them, or just garbage. My dad wouldn't let us watch 'The Flintstones' if he was home, because he said it was a rip-off of 'The Honeymooners'. But he would let us stay up really late in the summer and watch old 'Honeymooners'.

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

My parents don't really watch movies at all.

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

I love cartoons. I'm just a big kid.

If parents don't like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn't let their kids watch me.

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.

My parents were quite strict; we couldn't just listen to whatever music we wanted. It was very much like they monitored what we listened to.
