"We try, when we wake, to lay the new day at God's feet; before we have finished shaving, it becomes our day and God's share in it is felt as a tribute which we must pay out of 'our own' pocket, a deduction from the time which ought, we feel, to be 'our own'. A man starts a new job with a sense of vocation and, perhaps, for the first week still keeps the discharge of the vocation as his end, taking the pleasures and pains from God's hand, as they came, as 'accidents'. But in the second week he is beginning to 'know the ropes': by the third, he has quarried out of the total job his own plan for himself within that job, and when he can pursue this he feels that he is getting no more than his rights, and when he cannot, that he is being interfered."
"The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions."
"If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union."

"Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs."
"What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion."
"I'm having the same problems today that I had when I first started, saying that outrageous adult animation works."
"I'm the first to admit that I can't be as good as Tolkien, and a movie can never be as good as Tolkien."
