With 'Tower Prep,' Cartoon Network wanted to go into a new area where no other kids' programming was going. There were a lot of kids' sitcoms on the air, but they wanted to really go with more of like an adventure/drama feel.
I wrote on a show called Johnny Bravo when I was at Hanna-Barbera.
I watch the same cartoons over and over again. I watch Adult Swim. I watch 'Futurama' repeatedly.
I admire 'Adventure Time' for being a piece of art in the way that I think art should be. If you want to see it is poetry, you can, and if you don't, you can watch a fun cartoon.
I'd hate to be writing 'Adventure Time' comics and not be excited about it.
I can speak to my experience and say that CalArts worked out very well for me. After CalArts, I went to Cartoon Network, and then came to Disney.
I love Adult Swim. They give you so much artistic freedom.
Not a lot of people get to say, 'I'm a cartoon character.'
I love going to the movies; I grew up going to the movies. I didn't really watch TV, growing up, other than weird cartoons like 'Beavis & Butt-Head.'
I remember there was one summer - I think I was 13 years old - that was literally defined by watching 'Beavis and Butt-head' with my friends.
When 'Family Guy' came along, it was like a gift, and it expanded my fan base.
I think more influential than Emily Dickinson or Coleridge or Wordsworth on my imagination were Warner Brothers, Merrie Melodies, and Loony Tunes cartoons.
'Family Guy'. It's not only the funniest programme on television, it's the most wonderfully, indecorously literate.
I met Mike Judge when I was working on my own cartoon for MTV; it did not air. But I got on with Mike and then did a few voices on 'Beavis and Butt-Head' because of it.
Guilty pleasure implies that it's something that I feel guilty for watching... people tell me I should feel guilty for watching because I'm too old to watch it, but I don't give a damn: I love everything on Cartoon Network from 'Adventure Time' to 'The Adventures of Gumball', 'Teen Titans'... all those shows that are for my kids, I like those!
When the show starts, I am in my SpongeBob stance, and I walk like SpongeBob, and the first step that I take, I am SpongeBob.
Well, when I was a kid and I watched 'Speed Racer,' I used to always watch it in the morning with my cereal. And when I ate the cereal, I would pour soda into the cereal because we never really had milk for some reason, I don't know.
'Adult Swim' on the Cartoon Network is unbelievable. And 'South Park' continues to do great stuff. And 'Family Guy' and the various other Seth MacFarlane projects are amazing.
I hated Woody Woodpecker and Scooby-Doo, but I was a cartoon freak.
When I was younger, I used to watch a lot of cartoons.
'Family Guy' is relentlessly excellent.
'Dragonball' is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years.
Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you watch a lot of Cartoon Network and drink mid-price Chardonnay at 11 in the morning.
I used to pretend that I was Tom attacking Jerry, who was drawn on the ball.
I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.
