Mostly I wanted to be a writer, though for a couple of years there I wanted to be an animator, because I loved drawing and capturing beautiful movements.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first ambition was to be an animator for Walt Disney. Then I wanted to be a magazine cartoonist.
I wanted to be an animator originally. I went to art school; I went to art college and everything. But that screen was just calling me.
At one point, I was hell-bent on being a Disney animator, and sort of got over that in college and wanted to do my own stuff. You know, towards the end of college I had actually planned to go to the Boston Conservatory of Music for musical theater.
I really wanted to be a cartoonist, and I was in 4th or 5th grade and I would bring my drawings in, and I'd look around, and everyone could draw better than me. Everyone. My drawings were just awful. So that's why I had to write.
When I was a kid, I could draw, and my ambition was to be a cartoonist. I wanted to draw comics. But I also liked newspaper comics.
I got to draw monsters, robots and write funny stories. I loved doing that stuff and working with the actors. But it got to be less and less that stuff and more about trying to be everywhere and not being able to do one thing very enjoyably.
I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.
I never wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a book illustrator. I used to hurry home from school and draw.
I've always wanted to be an animator. That's an ultimate art form, right there.
I wanted to be a cartoonist. I was one of those kids who sat around and drew in my room all the time.
