John Fiedler's voice was kind of like the wind blowing through tall grass. It sounded homey and it sounded comforting.

I argue with myself, get mad at myself, throw myself around the room and then apologize to myself.

The established characters are easy to recall. I don't know why, but they come back to me instantly when I need them. It's the one-time-only characters that I don't remember where the voice I used came from.
