Joseph Barbera

Among the great glories of the MGM lot were the vast outdoor sets that had been constructed over the years.

In those days, boxing was very glamorous and romantic. You listened to fights on the radio, and a good announcer made it seem like a contest between gladiators.

I never got tired of Tom and Jerry, but I did have a dream of doing more with my life than making cartoons.

When the market goes to hell, it's more of an opportunity than a problem.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.

I've learned to stay away from publicity addicts, people who want to be famous for no reason.
