More quotes by 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
Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.
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
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
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
You do not 'suffer' if you decide 'that's the way it is' rather than 'why is it this way?'
Chuck Jones
You have a coyote inside you and you have to get it out
Chuck Jones
There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.

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
We must not confuse distortion with innovation distortion is useless change, art is beneficial change.
Chuck Jones
Eschew the ordinary, disdain the commonplace
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
When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.
Chuck Jones
Fog and smog should not be confused and are easily separated by color.
Chuck Jones
I started reading when I was about three, a little over three.
Chuck Jones
Often Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.
Chuck Jones
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
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.
