There's something fascinating about watching artists draw.
LOVE your taste in subject matter... perfect summer reading!
You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that.
I've always loved Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness movies.
I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of.
So much of life is what you roll and where you land.
I debated in high school! If you told things that weren't true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It's too bad they don't apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school students.
A cartoonist creates his whole universe without any input.
I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.
You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.
I live in a sort of insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working.
I'm so much like Luke Skywalker I guess I always will be.
One of the things that I love about voiceover is that it's a situation where - because you're not encumbered by being seen - it's liberating. You're able to make broad choices that you would never make if you were on camera.
I never saw myself so much as an actor. I wanted to be a cartoonist like Charles M. Schulz and create my own world and be able to have a studio at home and not commute and be able to be with my family.
