Will Ferrell is my new favorite person in the business. He's a completely adorable man.

My worst audition was for Tim Burton for 'Batman.'

Voice work is fun. But about three-quarters of the things you enjoy about acting are just not there. You're not working with another actor; you're not working with an audience. You're just working with a bunch of writers and a microphone. It's very abstract.

It's a delightful thing to do, to entertain kids. They're a completely different audience because of their total lack of irony. You're always after a total suspension of disbelief, but the only people you can really achieve it with is children.

We all grow up with inherited genes and inherited sensibilities, and they run very, very deep.
