- As long as I'm working, I'm happy. You see my face - great. You don't see my face - too bad, I don't care. I'll keep going.
- As a standup comedian, you have to develop a sense of fearlessness. It's really important for your livelihood and your well-being. And if you don't do that, you're going to fail; you're never going to be able to stand up on the cliff and jump off.
- Any good production team is going to allow an actor to breathe life into the characters - that's why they hired that woman, that man, whatever the case.
- Any voice where you've got to scream over a battle or whatever, that's always difficult. It's harder than it seems.
- I don't like it when celebrities get voice work. But then again, if I was the producer, I wouldn't want a bunch of no-names doing my show and have to worry about word-of-mouth. I see both sides of the story.
