More quotes by 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
I have come to know Bugs so well that I no longer have to think about what he is doing in any situation. I let the part of me that is Bugs come to the surface, knowing, with regret, that I can never match his marvelous confidence.
Chuck Jones
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
Chuck Jones
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
Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
Chuck Jones
Once you have heard a strange audience burst into laughter at a film you directed, you realize what the word joy is all about.
Chuck Jones
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
Chuck Jones
I started reading when I was about three, a little over three.

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.

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.
Chuck Jones
The close-up, according to D.W. Griffith, allows subtle changes of facial expression-the raising of an eyebrow or the flicker of a smile-to become part of the action.
Chuck Jones
Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.
Chuck Jones
Eschew the ordinary, disdain the commonplace
Chuck Jones
The name 'Chuck Jones', according to my uncle, limited my choice of profession to second baseman or cartoonist.
Chuck Jones
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
Chuck Jones
We must not confuse distortion with innovation distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
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
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
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.
