When you feel the world is against you or you give up hope, you look at your heroes and say, "They were able to do it. They had hard times and a lot of opposition, but they got through it." Then you feel, "I can do it too."

I'm just more comfortable with people who are like me than the people who are not.

Most of the great directors I've worked with - De Palma, Spike Lee - like rehearsals.

Acting is kind of a calling for me so I'm just happy to be there and do great work.

I love cartoons. So when they came to me to make Ice Age and this sequel, I was so happy.

I had to get the voice back, the precise pitch of Sid's voice and I'd forgotten that I'd pitched him higher than my regular voice, so that was a little difficult to begin with. It was especially hard because we started recording in the morning so I had to warm up a lot and my usual voice is a little more gravelly.

I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.
