If improv gets reckless, you can feel it. A lot of shows try to do that, I find. When improv is done sloppily. It betrays the story. It can slow down the energy of the story you're telling.

No matter what happens, the world can be pretty ridiculous and people be pretty ridiculous, but how would you react? That's an easy filter to put any story through.

I don't necessarily consider myself part of the animation world.

I was never able to analyze my own performance that way I can now. I've realized why certain actors work. I think I'm very in control of what I do in there now. I know how to listen, how to make it real and how not to go to jokes, but to go for a sense of reality.

The nature of the writing and the nature of the animation meant that it had to be short.

I'm not honestly a real student of animation. I never was into it all that much. I don't really watch any animated shows.
