​"Animation is the best acting gig there is."

"If you know the bouncing ball and the pendulum, you can animate anything."

"Animating a character's emotions is just like animating a physical force; in order to make a change in emotions feel natural, you need hang time."

Thanks to Dana Masson for giving an amazing talk about arcs and acting in animation.  It was a treasure trove of information.  If you missed it and want to get a feel for the topic, check out this link to a Youtube video she shared about story arcs.
