I think when someone who's known for doing drama does a comedy but just tries to be funny, that's a mistake.

Sending a handwritten letter is becoming such an anomaly. It's disappearing. My mom is the only one who still writes me letters. And there's something visceral about opening a letter - I see her on the page. I see her in her handwriting.

When you approach it, and I hate sounding like the pretentious actor, but yeah, I think you have to find things within the character that are likeable, or at least human, and not to go at it with any sort of predetermined notions as to what that character is.

My maternal grandma was a tough, tough lady and a stern woman, who lost her husband young and raised six kids by herself. She lived in a mining community in Upstate New York and ran a boarding house for miners. She took care of an entire family and miners who lived in the house as well.

I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: "It's the man from TV!"

I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said… my tummy itches.

It's interesting when you're trying to create a character in animation. It's really a communal effort.
