I think the idea of creating a character from scratch, one that has not been done in a novel or an existing story, is immensely exciting, terrifying and ultimately rewarding.

It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.

I've loved all forms of animation.

In the past, I was always drawn to really quirky, idiosyncratic characters.

The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.

Why I was so intrigued with Red Skelton was because he was able to make you cry and laugh and the same time. That was power.

I loved, in 'Starman', the use of anamorphic lenses, the creation of blue light, and Carpenter's use of the widescreen format.

Before we ever had a script or anything, I was attracted to the idea of playing a character that housed within himself two opposing traits.

My first crush was Spock. I thought it didn't get any better than Spock.
