“If you're not running through chaos together with kids, you're not really playing together.” Quote by Jon J Muth
“Like everybody else, I've got dark and light, trying to hold onto the civilized part and use it successfully. I'm sure that includes competition, but not in a way that I can recognize. Most of the games I like have more to do with the process of the game or the aesthetics. Racing's really about the aesthetics for me, not particularly the idea of coming in first - though I certainly appreciate a champion, and I like watching people do something really well.” PeopleTryingDarkAppreciateCompetitionChampionCivilized Author:Jon J Muth
“I don't think I compete with myself by trying to make a better book. I don't know that that's possible. I mean, I've already done my best books, so I'd like to just make something I also like now.” ThinkingTryingMeanBookDone Author:Jon J Muth
“I'm always conscious of the fact that a book starts, basically, with a kid in a lap, and a parent reading to them. If I'm not at least understanding that the parent's got to be there, and the kid's got to be there, together, then I don't feel like I'm doing my job. I hope that the language or the dialogue or the way characters interact entertains parents - when I'm playing with my own kids, I'm entertaining myself too, as well as them.” BookCharacterKidsTogetherReadingLanguageParentUnderstandingConsciousDialogue Author:Jon J Muth
“I think I gravitate towards characters who are slight outsiders. It's fun to play a character that wants so badly to be included in the normal activities of teenage life, but lacks the literal hardware to do it.” ThinkingCharacterFunOutsidersTeenage Author:Zach Woods
“It's always fun to improvise. What's weird is that when you're recording, you're by yourself, for the most part.” Fun Author:Zach Woods
“The days that you record by yourself, you feel like a crazy person because you're saying the same line, 10 different ways, or they ask you for 10 different grunting sounds and you just feel like such a schmuck. It's crazy! When there's other people there, it tethers you to something, in a nice way.” PeopleDifferentNiceCrazyCrazy Person Author:Zach Woods
“I would rather a sex tape make its way out than a video of me doing all of the different grunt sounds. I'm not eager for a sex tape to leak, but in terms of personal humiliation, I'd feel less vulnerable to be in a Kim Kardashian situation than seeing myself grunting in a booth.” DifferentTermSituationVulnerableHumiliationGrunt Author:Zach Woods
“I'd like to be able to do complex math in my head. Any kind of adversity and I become very anxious, but if you're a robot, you have good equilibrium. I wish I was cooler under pressure, like a robot.” KindWishAdversityMathAnxiousEquilibriumUnder Pressure Author:Zach Woods
“If I was a part of secret ninja group my power would be the power of apology. I would just apologize emphatically and freely. And my mech might just be a phone to send apologetic emails from.” SecretApologyApologizingNinjaApologetic Author:Zach Woods
“We went to Comic-Con and there were people dressed up as the characters. There's a whole canon of Ninjago history that I didn't even know about until the process of making the movie had started. Especially at Comic-Con, I realized that people really, really care about this, and I hope they like it because it's meaningful to them. It did actually change my feelings about it.” PeopleCharacterFeelingsCareI RealizedMeaningful Author:Zach Woods
