In general, I find that for videos the acting is more realistic.

I didn't record any additional dialogue for this CD, they are excerpts pulled from existing episodes.

Whenever you do an animated project or a voice-over project it's inevitable that part of your personality comes into play.

I had to make squirrel noises as Bubbles and without realizing it, I was making the face and putting my fingers up to my face to look like a squirrel and everyone made fun of me for the rest of the day.

Some shows, like PPG, tape in a group session, which is always more fun because you can play off each other.

We really have a lot of fun at these sessions, we all get along and kid around with each other throughout the job.

I usually have 10 different animation projects going at a time.

Many people think voice over artists just read, there's much more to it. Without acting beats, scene study and improving skills, you won't make it.

My son is old enough to respond to my work. To me, that's what it is all about.

I'm not sure specifically but there's definitely parts of me in Rikku.

If I am not right for something there are many talented actors out there that will get it.

I think there are more female characters in videogames now but I also think that's because videogames in general are more diverse now.

Start as early as you can. Make tapes of your characters.

We all sit in front of our mics and our scripts lay on music stands. Then the silliness begins!

Don't be afraid to look silly.

Sometimes a role might be difficult on my throat.

I think it's definitely beneficial for these characters to have good acting voices behind them and it affects the characters in a way that people can feel like they're part of the game and that they know these characters.

Dont be afraid to look silly.

I've always wanted to make 'Swamp Thing.' I like 'Swamp Thing.' I think it's a good idea, and I thought it would be a good venue for a 3-D movie, but there were rights issues with 'Swamp Thing.'

There is a myth out there that somehow anabolic steroids can turn a cub into a bear. Steroids won't make you tough and competitive. What they will do is ruin your health. It's that simple.

I became a councillor back in 1971, so if by this stage in politics I'm making lots of big mistakes, then I shouldn't be here.

There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From its springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior.

I like the fact that glass ceilings are breaking all over.

When I go on the set, I'm so rushed. When I see the actors at rehearsal, when I love it, I want to keep the mood - my mood and the actors' mood also. So I have to push the crew faster. I don't want to lose the mood.

I always wanted to be a star.

Art has a double visage: it looks before and after. Romance is its forward-looking face. The germ of growth is in romanticism. Formalism, on the other hand, consolidates tradition; gleans what has been gained and makes it facile to the hand or the mind; economizes the energy of genius.

A studio is like a meditation room where music is created. And a live performance is the place where the creation of the studio is taken ahead. I love both.

Sickness is a hindrance to the body but not to your ability to choose unless that is your choice. Lameness is a hindrance to the leg but not to your ability to choose. Say this to yourself with regard to everything that happens then you will see such obstacles as hindrances to something else but not to yourself.

I prefer design by experts - by people who know what they are doing.

When I think how art education is eliminated whenever we get a budget crunch in the schools, I have to stand up and say that even when there was dire poverty ten blocks away from Tiffany Studios in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, there was art and creativity within.

But you can travel on for ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.

Every picture shows a spot with which the artist has fallen in love.

His father is governor of Media, and though he has the greatest command given him of all the rest of my generals, he still covetously desires more, and my being without issue spurs him on to this wicked design. But Philotas takes wrong measures.

I've done lots of songs for film soundtracks and things like that - stuff I'm not ashamed of, but that doesn't represent my legacy with the Pretenders.

And where I grew up in Australia, surfing was a part of culture.
