 Why don't you call him Bugs Bunny? What's up, Doc? It's a rabbit down there, and I'm trying to catch him. Well, they told me that Bugs was a tough little stinker, and I thought, what kind of a voice can I give him? The tough character may be Brooklyn or the Bronx. So I put the two of them together, Doc, and that's how Bugs Bunny came out.
