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

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.

I'm not like a high intellectual.

I did speak out about celebrities because I thought it was appalling. I thought that if the cartoon became popular, it was only going to last as long as the career of the people who are in it. They didn't make up timeless voices. They used their own. They brought nothing to the table, in other words. There was no alchemy. That's why a cartoon was so alluring, was that a human being went into a place and created this supernatural sound, or whatever sound it was supposed to be that was totally unlike their own, and did it in multiples.

It had more layers than an onion. These writers meant business. There was a level for everybody. Your major could be celestial mechanics, and there'd be celestial-mechanics jokes.

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