You have to always physicalize, when you do animation recording. Otherwise, you won't get the performance right.

I guess for me the greatest injustice is to see people robbed of that interiority and process of association.

When you become deeply involved with someone, their problems become yours, and vice versa. It's family.

I guess I'm used to seeing actors, but rock musicians still hold a special magic for me.

In my cranky old age, I actually prefer recording alone now, on 'The Simpsons,' for example, because I find that the director can just focus on what I'm doing and I can do a lot of variations. A lot of times, when I record with a group, I'll stay after class for another hour or two.

Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.

I'm very happy I get to keep working - it's an insanely fortunate thing.
