The first animation thing I did was the first Transformers, the one that was animated many years ago. And I had heard that Orson Welles was doing a voice on it.

[John] Hughes was well aware that to ignore the seriousness of young people is to encourage things like Columbine, so you might want to listen. And we were all pretty serious, a little bit, in high school. Some a little more than others.

I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.

You know who was wonderful to work with? Was Paul Gleason, may he rest in peace.

I wanted to meet Orson Welles. So I was like, whatever, somehow get me in on this. I'm able to get cast in it, but Orson Welles worked alone. He worked before all of us worked. He didn't want to work with anyone else.

Alien's a great one. That's a scary movie.
