For me, the question was, how can one take a live-action performance and put it in the parameter of one of those cartoons? How much can you get away with?

My beef was with essentially being a product. I didn't want to be a product, so I tried to get fired, but they didn't fire me, which was weird.

I'd rather fight a buzzsaw than dance.

I'm shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I've done everything I can to avoid it.

With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.

I just watched cartoons for three years, and that had a strong affect on me.

If anybody is getting their ass handed to them, it's not Al [Pachino]. It's coming [toward you]. I'm psychotic.
