As long as I can apply my craft, I'm happy.

You have to have some kind of power of observation, almost like a trained observer.

I'm not like a high intellectual. That's the thing.

If someone gave me the chance to create something, I put myself into it. I just want to try to do something that will last forever and that won't leave people saying, 'Gee, it could have been better, it could've been this, it could've been that.'

I've always said that you can't be the new Mel Blanc by doing Mel Blanc's voice.

Somebody's real voice is probably the hardest one that somebody could attempt. The characters are all, believe it or not, rooted in a reality of some sort. I've met and talked to people, and they're also fusions of showbiz periphery. But the best thing was, if you did your own voice and you were the star of the show - if it came to blows and they had you on the ropes and you had to leave, then they could just get someone to sound exactly like you.

I consider myself to be flawed, but I made it work. I'm not perfect. Anybody who thinks they are is whacked-out.
