One of the defining things about my career on camera is I like to play different characters. That gets difficult to do. People don't trust you to do something different. In animation, it's all about trust and how far can you go away from yourself. It's a really marvelous environment that's extremely creative.

From Diedrich Bader

I remember how, when I lived in Paris, there was a McDonald's, and I'd always see Americans eating there and think, 'Why do they come all the way to Paris and eat at McDonald's?'

From Diedrich Bader

From Diedrich Bader

Doing animation is closer to pretending than anything else you get to do. It's much more like when you're a kid putting on a character.
