A lot of the time in animation is spent getting the story right - that's something you can't rush.

Sometimes, you just have to go in there and bowl people over with your sheer force of will.

One of the things we love about Po [Kung Fu Panda] is that he's vulnerable. He's someone that we can all identify with because he has those insecurities. He's an outsider feeling guy.

Tigress is my alternate personality, especially with children. I love animation because you get to do things you don't normally get to.

I think the best thing I have is the introvert's ability to listen when you're working on something as complicated as this and you have to really be aware of everyone's specialized skills.

I'm a very soft-spoken person. I don't throw furniture. I don't throw tantrums.

Po's [Kung Fu Panda] unending enthusiasm is something we wish we could have. We can't help but root for him because of his geek energy.

Success breeds success on a marathon route. If you can prove to yourself that you are doing well, then invariably you will do even better.

We can't shame women for trying to be beautiful. That's so mean and unfair. But there's a part of me that thinks it's really sad, too. It's very complicated.

In my opinion, if you buy a ticket to see me you're buying experience. People don't want to see me stand there and play guitar, they want to party with us.

It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.

You [Scots] come of a race of men the very wind of whose name has swept to the ultimate seas.
