When you are in a live-action movie, you have so many more options to express yourself. You can use your body and your gestures and facial expressions. When you are doing an animated movie, you really only have your voice.

It's a really unique acting opportunity to play two roles who are not only interacting with each other, but vastly different.

I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.

Acting is a weird, kind of alienating job because you're in an isolated place. Even if you're working with a lot of other people, you're kind of alienated. Actors say that a lot, and I kind of find that to be true.

I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway.

As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.

When cellphones came out, my girlfriend refused to get one for five years, because she thought it would turn her into somebody who couldn't connect with other people - and, of course, she got a cellphone.
