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.

I was never an actor. I had done one or two random projects in my advertising career.

I'm pretty strict with anyone on our crew when people start to draw too well or draw some in-betweens in the animation.

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.

I'm a slave to the beats of the story, not to the words we use to tell the story.

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

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.
