“The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord-it feels great-but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.” FeelsSelfFeelingsHateOrderBitsLearningHumilityTaughtSelf ImprovementDeterminationImprovementBarriersAccordInferiority Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“I want to get into producing. I really learned a lot from 'Girls Next Door.' Kevin Burns is a great producer. He's really talented, and he taught me a lot.

“The 16 years have gone so fast. I came to Minnesota as a 19-year-old kid. Marv Grissom was the pitching coach, an old-timer who taught me quite a bit.

If I threw across my body, I would step on the chair. Marv was trying to hurt me. I fooled him.

“I'm a bit of a weird creature... I'm self taught and went to a regular film school, not art school, and I think it's unusual for somebody to approach animation from that angle.
