I was at a restaurant and I heard this little voice at a nearby table pipe up and say, 'I believe I will have the chowder.' I got up and walked out into the middle of the restaurant. There was Sterling Holloway just sitting there being Sterling Holloway. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I'd have the honor of filling his shoes. I just regret not going up to him and saying hello.

I do all the better bears.

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.

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

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

I grew up watching all the great Disney animated films and to be able to carry that torch and know that I'm contributing to the same magic and wonder for a whole new generation is a great thing.

Sometimes at drive-thrus I go into Winnie the Pooh and ask for a jar of honey.
