“As a child I used to watch clouds, and in them, see faces, castles, animals, dragons, and giants.

“My father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. He used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and I made up a story about a brother and a sister, Lisa and Matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals.” MadeStoriesUsedFatherAnimalRecordsAdventureBrotherWoodsDinnerDrivingFilmmakerTapeCartoonist Author:Matt Groening
“I want upon death to be buried, just like in the old days, where I decompose by the action of microorganisms, and I am dined upon by any form of creeping animal or root system that sees fit to do so.... I will have recycled back to the universe at least some of the energy that I have taken from it. And in so doing, at the conclusion of my scientific adventures, I will have come closer to the heavens than to Earth.” WantActionEarthFormUniverseEnergyHeavenAnimalTakenAdventureFitRootsConclusionBuriedExtinctionWant UOld DaysRecycledMicroorganisms Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“I kind of, I have quite a clear idea of what I'm trying to do with a record. A Super Furry Animals record is always an adventure, because there's five members of the group and everyone is a producer, we all throw in ideas, and regardless of who writes the song, the songs always get pushed around and shape-shifted to fit everyone in the band. So when I start a record with Super Furry Animals I can never predict how it'll turn out.” WritingTryingKindSongAnimalAdventureFitProducers Author:Gruff Rhys

“I do not see any reason why animals should be slaughtered to serve as human diet when there are so many substitutes. After all, man can live without meat. It is only some carnivorous animals that have to subsist on flesh. Killing animals for sport, for pleasure, for adventures, and for hides and furs is a phenomenon which is at once disgusting and distressing. There is no justification in indulging in such acts of brutality . . . Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to a man.
