More quotes by Chuck Jones
An idea has no worth at all without believable characters to implement it a plot without characters is like a tennis court without players. Daffy Duck is to a Buck Rogers story what John McEnroe was to tennis. Personality. That is the key, the drum, the fife. Forget the plot.
Chuck Jones
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
Chuck Jones
Fog and smog should not be confused and are easily separated by color. Fog is about the color of the insides of an old split wet summer cottage mattress smog is the color and consistency of a wet potato chip soaked in a motorman’s glove.
Chuck Jones
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.

Everything on Saturday morning [cartoons] moves alike that's one of the reasons it's not animation. The drawings are different, but everybody acts the same way, their feet move the same way, and everybody runs the same way. It doesn't matter whether it's an alligator or a man or a baby or anything, they all move the same.
Chuck Jones
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
Chuck Jones
In timing a film, we used to assume that sneaks move slowly. This was great for animators-thirty-six to forty-eight drawings for a single step-but it was sheer hell for the pace of the picture. So the rapid tiptoe was invented.
Chuck Jones
The rules are simple. Take your work, but never yourself, seriously. Pour in the love and whatever skill you have, and it will come out.
Chuck Jones
We must not confuse distortion with innovation distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
Chuck Jones
Animation isn't the illusion of life it is life
Chuck Jones
Painting does what we cannot do—it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
Chuck Jones
Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.
Chuck Jones
The author O. Henry taught me about the value of the unexpected. He once wrote about the noise of flowers and the smell of birds—the birds were chickens and the flowers dried sunflowers rattling against a wall.

When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.
