More quotes by 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
Dell is to a degree in the penalty box because expectations and probable results have gotten ratcheted down.
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
The name 'Chuck Jones', according to my uncle, limited my choice of profession to second baseman or cartoonist.
Chuck Jones
The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.
Chuck Jones
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
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
When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.
Chuck Jones
Painting does what we cannot do—it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
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
The only time a wife listens to her husband is when he’s asleep.
Chuck Jones
Censorship, I believe, is the most dangerous enemy to all human communication, and piety of intention is probably the most dangerous, the most virulent and the most self-satisfying.
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
Mark Twain's Roughing It is a book that many people don't know about, but I highly recommend to anybody at any age.
Chuck Jones
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
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 weatherman is not only blamed for his failure to foretell, he is blamed for the weather itself.
Chuck Jones
There's only one test of a great children's book, or a great children's film, and that is this: If it can be read or viewed with pleasure by adults, then it has the chance to be a great children's film, or a great children's book.
Chuck Jones
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
