Læs hvad Barks siger om:

 

 

[top] "Recognition is fine if the rewards are high enough to repay me for loss of privacy and freedom of expression."
[top] "I have no cartoonists in my ancestral tree whatsoever, no artists that I know of, no writers that I know of. I was just sort of a mutant that came along."
[top] "Donald [Duck] is my favorite character, because he's like all my friends, my neighbors, myself, he's just Mister Everyman."
[top] "One of the greatest difficulties in handling characters is in figuring out how each character is going to react to a certain situation. In that respect, Uncle Scrooge is fairly easy to keep in line. He will always choose the cheapest way to meet an emergency."
[top] "I've always looked at the ducks as caricatures of human beings."
[top] "I finally decided to do a watercolor to show that I'm really a hairy-chinned rebel at heart."
[top] "My age is 80 and I don't look a day over 79 1/2." (1981)
[top] "Some of the main people who influenced my drawing style were Winsor McCay, Opper, and Hal Foster. Roy Crane, who drew Buzz Sawyer, also had a direct, simple style."
[top] "It wasn't genius or even unusual talent that made the stories good, it was patience and a large waste-basket."
[top] "Errors and boo-boos bother me years after I've forgotten every other feature of a story."
[top] "I polished and polished on the scripts and drawings until I had done the best I could in the time available."
[top] "If you were a prima donna down at the Disney studio, if you went in thinking you were a genius and then you had to work with a bunch of geniuses, why you soon got the ego knocked out of you."
[top] Og så én på dansk fra Søren Vinterbergs nekrolog i Politiken den 26. august 1999:

"Vi spiste frokost (burger) på den lokale restaurant, så en golf turnering i tv (og mindedes Anders som Andebys "uheldigste golfspiller") og talte om hvordan det var at være blandt de fem-ti nulevende mennesker, der har betydet mest for de opvoksende generationers verdensbillede?
Det har jeg aldrig tænkt på", svarede den venlige mand"
