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

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

I grew up on comics and cartoons. So, as an adult, I like comics and cartoons.

I used to spend summers in the Czech Republic with my grandmother. I'd watch Czech cartoons.

I was influenced by Ray Harryhausen and Lotte Reiniger, with her twitchy, cutout animation, which I happened to see at a very young age, but also by the Warner Bros. cartoons, 'Tom and Jerry,' and of course Disney. And also by Fellini's 'Giulietta of the Spirits' and Kurosawa's 'Ran.' And by other American illustrators and painters.

- Henry Selick

I think more influential than Emily Dickinson or Coleridge or Wordsworth on my imagination were Warner Brothers, Merrie Melodies, and Loony Tunes cartoons.

In Roslyn, Pennsylvania, we started our real-life family circus. They provided the inspiration for my cartoons. I provided the perspiration.

- Bil Keane

True net-heads sometimes resort to punctuation cartoons to get around the absence of inflection.

- Barton Gellman

Children's programming in America, I think it's pretty shoddy in terms of lack of diversity. It's pretty much cartoons and Disney sort of shows. I don't find any of that stimulating for children.
