I love doing animation - mainly because you get to over-act. They're always saying "more," "louder," "bigger," "huger" and you just turn it lose. Plus, doing animation voiceovers, I have learned so much, and it's always good in your career to discover something you didn't know, and to learn to do things differently. So it's a fascinating experience.

If I had no family, my wife and I would lead a much more romantic and nomadic existence.

Great fear, conformity, immorality: these are heavy burdens. They drain us of creative energy. And when we are drained of creative energy, we do not create. We procreate, but we do not create.

When I did Ben 10, I really didn't know anything about Ben 10. But when I went back to visit my son Pierre and told him what I'd just done, he said "You did a Ben 10?!?" and then he started yelling out to my grandson, "Luca, Luca, come here, Granddaddy did a Ben 10 show." You suddenly discover you're gratte-cul with a five-year-old, and that's pretty cool."

I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you, its governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.

I didnt want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

But so far as countries are concerned, I don't go to a place to see what's there, but who is there.
