Painstakingly researched and compellingly written, Ralph Ellison is a masterwork of the genre of literary biography.

• I love doing animation - mainly because you get to over-act. They're always saying "more," "louder," "bigger," "huger" and you just turn it lose. Plus, doing animation voiceovers, I have learned so much, and it's always good in your career to discover something you didn't know, and to learn to do things differently. So it's a fascinating experience.

• It was a pleasure to have somebody else be the boss. It wouldn't have been nearly as much fun any other way.

And it was a pleasure to see other people to pick up characters that you've sketched out loosely on paper and make them into something fascinating.

• We live in a culture where everyone is perfectly willing to do this [to make a lot of money], and they're just looking for the opportunity.

• When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I dont see the feathers in the wings, I just count the wings. I see exciting shapes, color combinations, patterns, textures, fascinating behavior and endless possibilities for making interesting pictures. I regard the picture as an ecosystem in which all the elements are interrelated, interdependent, perfectly balanced, without trimming or unutilized parts; and herein lies the lure of the painting; in a world of chaos, the picture is one small rectangle in which the artist can create an ordered universe.
