A lot of times I think people, when they're doing a movie that's a family movie, they're worried about this being too esoteric or too dark or too weird.

It's not like you get up on stage and you're immediately a genius. It takes a long time. So, don't be discouraged.

I would say the biggest difference is that you're just in a studio by yourself when you're making an animated movie. You don't have anybody to play off of.

Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.

My kids, they're always embarrassed when my voice shows up in something.

My dad's from there, and I have relatives there, but I don't think I've been to Chicago since I was like 9.

A person being patient with an insane person is my favorite thing in the world.
