"You see, that's the whole wonder of animation directing: if you're not something you want to be, or are something you don't want to be, you can, through drawing, through action, create a character who will take care of the matter. All you have to do is dig down into your cluttered cellar of frustration or up into your cluttered attic of ambition and lo-there you are!"
