I grew up in the ’70s, early ’80s as a kid, and when we first immigrated to this country I went to a 7-Eleven and for the first time in my life I saw… back in the day they had this little spinning comic book rack, and there were comic books and I was basically drawn to them.

I love ‘Jack’ as one of my creations and would never want to change it from what it was supposed to be. There was no reason to reinvent. Genndy Tartakovsky Read Quote

As soon as you think, ‘Pirates are really popular right now with kids so I’m going to write a pirate movie’… that’s when you’re dead. Genndy Tartakovsky Read Quote
For whatever reason, I think we have one type of animated movie and it’s so wrong. I want to do a drama, I want to do an action, a comedy. In live-action, there are all sorts of movies. There’s independent movies, big movies, action movies, funny movies, and for us we have one movie. Genndy Tartakovsky Read Quote
