64 Quotes by Ralph Bakshi

As an artist, I want to interpret my feelings - not run across the street and ask what my mother thinks.

I draw what I feel, which is no more than doing my job.

I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.

My good films were independent and my bad films were not.

My movies continue to be found and be sold because there's something going on in them.

They say I'm a revolutionary, but they're all wrong.

I wouldn't leave Disney to do Disney.

I hired Bob at Terrytoons. He was my assistant animator, and then became an animator himself. He had just come from Boston with his family and was a brilliant draftsman as well as a great jazz guitarist. We had lots of fun nights in Greenwich Village together and then later hanging in LA. Bob worked on Fritz the Cat , Heavy Traffic , Coonskin , and on Wizards . I am terribly saddened by his passing and will miss him dearly.

All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.
