In animation, there's this exhilarating moment of discovery when you see the film and you say, Oh THAT'S what I was doing.

Books make great gifts because they're something you love that you can share.

Growing up I didn't want to be an actor. I sort of didn't want to go into the family business; the main reason being there was something I wanted to do far more, which was be an artist.

There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.

I find I have to walk a little faster in public these days, but it's very easy to remember when nobody had any idea who I was.

I certainly had my years as an out of work actor but I was married with a baby. My wife was supporting us.
