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

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

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

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 found a lot of animators bring a lot of baggage to the party, just that there's a certain way of doing things in that world that's a little hard to unlearn.

If I was ever to ask advice, it could be from any actor or showrunner or writer. I wouldn't necessarily ask an animate. I don't want to say that the wrong way, but animation's not really my 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.
