Bill Plympton Quotes

Being a talented artist is good, it’s nice, but it’s not the most important thing. I think being a good storyteller, having a good idea, a good gag, is probably more important than being a great artist Picture Quote #1

I think each film I do has less and less dialogue. It really helps a lot for foreign sales, because when I go to Europe, there’s very little problem with communication. All the gags are visual. The music they can understand, and it helps communicate a lot better Picture Quote #1

I don’t see why it’s such a stretch for distributors, buyers, and studios to put cartoon characters into adult situations on film Picture Quote #1

I think it’s part of the responsibility of an artist to shock, to upset, to make people think differently, and to surprise people. And that’s where the good humor is, if there’s a surprise and there’s something unexpected. Something that’s not normal, not in the realm of general living expectations Picture Quote #1

My films usually start with an idea that I get while walking the streets. For example, I got the idea for ‘Guard Dog’ when I was walking in the park and I saw a dog barking at a bird Picture Quote #1

For me, the perfect film has no dialogue at all. It’s purely a visual, emotional, visceral kind of experience. And I think one can create wonderful depth and meaning and communication without using words. I started out as an illustrator and a cartoonist and caricature artist, so for me the visual is primary Picture Quote #1

I’d love to win an Oscar; that would be great. I hope to get a feature film that I’ve made get a wide release. I’m not sure that’s ever going to happen Picture Quote #1

I’m much better known in France and Germany and Spain than I am in the U.S. When I go to Russia, I get mobbed; I have groups of fans waiting for me out in the hotel lobby, waiting for me to come down off the elevator. In China, I almost got beat up because people were trying to get me to do a drawing for them Picture Quote #1

People used to want to be filmmakers and animators; now they want to make apps Picture Quote #1

I think it reflects well on the state of animation that people are knowledgeable about it and love the fantasy and imagination that goes into it Picture Quote #1

Im very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features Picture Quote #1
