->''"And if I could boil this movie down to one single word, it would be: 'bitter'. Like, if there's something I've noticed about this movie all the way through, it's that it's very bitter. It's bitter about everyone who hates it, it's bitter about any and all criticism that it's probably ever received, it's bitter for getting cancelled[...]Here's where most of the bitterness comes in, like, they clearly hate ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''... like, if I didn't know any better, it seems like the creators are blaming ''South Park'' for them getting cancelled."''

->At that time, the managers suggested that we have a psychotherapist come in. A man that meets with pro ball teams, you know -- big-ego, big-dollar guys that can't get along, but have to make some kind of entity flow, so everybody else and everybody can make the money. And, uh, I actually said, 'I think that this is really fucking ''lame'' -- weak -- that we cannot get together. Us! Look: the ''biggest heavy band of all time''! The things we've been through and decisions we've made... about squillions of dollars and squillions of people... and this? We can't get over ''this?''
-->-- '''[[Music/{{Metallica}} James Hetfield]]''', ''Some Kind of Monster''

->Dark is a valid direction to take something, but I think you have to be in a particular place, mentally, to stay there for a while.

->That's Music/{{Paul|McCartney}}. Apparently he was under strain at that period.

->This is a little sad, but Creator/JephLoeb's son had passed away a few years before, and I believe it had affected his writing. I'd be open to your take if you disagree on this, but I think if you look at the stuff he was writing before, like ''Batman'' and ''Daredevil'' with artist Tim Sale, and then you compare it to stuff like ''The Ultimates'', ''Ultimatum'', his work on ''Hulk'' with the Red Hulk, I think that things for a few years there were definitely more cynical and dark. That's my two cents. I think it affected his writing and it might've led to ''Ultimatum'' being more violent and ugly than it needed to be.

->From the inception of {{Wrestling/WCW}} to about a year-and-a-half there with Jim Herd was the worst time of my career ('til ''[[Wrestling/EricBischoff Biscoff]]'' came along). "Ric Flair", he was just gone from '89 'til I went to {{Wrestling/WWE}}. They cracked me. I'm not shy about telling that. I make light of it, and I make fun of it, but they almost had me with the Sigourney Weaver disease where I couldn't walk around the house without touching the wall. I was that cracked.

->Halfway though production, [Yasumi] Matsuno resigned from Creator/SquareEnix, citing health reasons. That the actual reason was [[FreakOut a nervous collapse]] is practically common knowledge, though you'll never heard Square Enix say so. (Matsuno's not taking a paid vacation to recuperate and choosing [[KnowWhenToFoldEm to get the hell away from Square Enix]] instead speaks volumes.) Working on ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' actually caused its director and executive producer to cave in on himself.

->The doctors told me I had to quit. I was so sick; I was bleeding from about everywhere. I mean, my stomach was gone; my head was gone; my body was gone. They said, 'You just have to stop.' And this is about two-thirds way through the third season...And I called [[{{Creator/Universal}} the studio]], and I told them. Of course they immediately sued me. ('Breach of contract.')
