More quotes by Chuck Jones
I have to think as Bugs Bunny, not of Bugs Bunny.
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
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
Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
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
Jackie Gleason said that comedy is the most exacting form of dramatic art, because it has an instant critic: laughter.
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
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
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
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
Chuck Jones
Fog and smog should not be confused and are easily separated by color.

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
The only time a wife listens to her husband is when he’s asleep.
Chuck Jones
Eschew the ordinary, disdain the commonplace
Chuck Jones
You have a coyote inside you and you have to get it 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
Dell is to a degree in the penalty box because expectations and probable results have gotten ratcheted down.
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
Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.
