The Gorillaz cartoons seem more real to me than the actual people on TV. Because at least you know that there's some intelligence behind the cartoons, and there's a lot of work that's gone into it, so it can't all be just a lie.

Cartoons have always been an enjoyment to me... a relaxation... I get my ideas from everyday events.

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.

Making cartoons means very hard work at every step of the way, but creating a successful cartoon character is the hardest work of all.

My biggest kick comes from the individual fans I run into. Middle-aged men ask me when we're going to do more Johnny Quest cartoons.

After I had done a handful of cartoons I was satisfied with, I started submitting them to the magazines.

I first pitched the idea of doing a series of cartoons based on Bible stories. They didn't much like it.

I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.

I was unable to sleep and I would stay up and draw these little cartoons. Then a friend showed them around. Before I knew it I was a cartoonist.

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.

He always describes his characters' voices and their physique so brilliantly. As people have said, they are cartoons, caricatures. They're grotesques really.

But by us doing a lot on the road, we were able to afford things like videos on the tours, cartoons that we'd open up the shows with. We were doing that way back when and now it's the hippest thing to do. We're just coming back around, I guess trying to play catch-up.

There is too much illustrating of the news these days. I look at many editorial cartoons and I don't know what the cartoonists are saying or how they feel about a certain issue.

I have no idea what readership is of written editorials, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the readership of editorial cartoons.

I was doing political cartoons and getting angry to the point where I felt I was going to have to start making and throwing bombs. I thought I was probably a better cartoonist than a bomb maker.

And, uh, I've got about six thousand cartoons up there, also books and papers.

When I did sports cartoons, I used to uh, go to fights.

I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head.

In live action movies, you just hope that everything works. Because the actor may had a bad morning and doesn't play good, or accidents happen continuously. Many things contradict what you are trying to say. But in cartoons, nothing contradict what you want to say.

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