More quotes by Chuck Jones
Eschew the ordinary, disdain the commonplace
Chuck Jones
When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.
Chuck Jones
The weatherman is not only blamed for his failure to foretell, he is blamed for the weather itself.
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
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
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
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
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.
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
You can't force inspiration. It's like trying to catch a butterfly with a hoop but no net. If you keep your mind open and receptive, though, one day a butterfly will land on your finger.
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
Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.
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
You do not 'suffer' if you decide 'that's the way it is' rather than 'why is it this way?'
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
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
Chuck Jones
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
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
Painting does what we cannot do—it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
Chuck Jones
I started reading when I was about three, a little over three.
