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

If everyone else is doing something, I have little or no interest in it. If you're known as this guy who can do any kind of sound or voice or whatever, somebody will go, "Do you do Christopher Walken?" "No." "Well, why not?" "Because everybody else in the world does it." My carpenter does Christopher Walken.

I'm not angry. Everybody thinks I'm so angry because I have a point of view. They're expecting me to just be all Smucker's Jam.

But the throat just kind of falls into line once you realize in your head what it is. You got to remember the musicality of a character you're going to do.

Well, I happen to have a love of vocal reproduction devices.

I don't have that much of an ego where it's like "How dare you, you can't do something without me."

You watch people and study them the way an alien would.
