ADD QUOTES
- Butch Hartman: (about parts of his job that he enjoys or doesn't enjoy) I really enjoy the writing process. And the boarding part. These are the story specific aspects of the job and I really enjoy story stuff. But don't get me wrong, I love all of it! The stuff I don't like? Hmmm…having to fix mistakes. That can get very labor intensive sometimes. And dealing with certain employees that don't do their jobs. That can really create an extra burden on everybody.

- Butch Hartman: (about what he does if he has spare time) I have no spare time! But on the rare occasion I DO get some, it's always spent with wife and kids. Man they grow up fast! So do the kids!
