I like helping people achieve their dreams just like people helped me.

Self-expression, to me, is something that you worked on, that you have mastered a skill to say something in the most artful way that you can. It's not just blurting stuff out and having verbal diarrhea.

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

I did Brad's first film The Take and I'm glad Brad [Furman] has not calmed down. I don't want him to ever calm down.

I have a lot of heroes. I don't think people give enough of a tribute to their mentors. They try to act like they're spontaneous generations - they are faking liars.

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

I think as you mature as an actor things open up to you in a lot of ways, especially if you do work on yourself.
