I started doing comedy with no plan to do voice work. Voice work came as a function of doing comedy and meeting people who eventually develop shows like that. I didn't seek out from an early age to be on cartoons.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been able to work with some incredible voice talent, most of whom I grew up hearing in my favorite cartoons.
My very first professional job was a cartoon, doing voices for the Mr. T cartoon in high school.
I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.
I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.
When I was in middle school, I liked to make cartoons.
You don't make a fortune doing cartoons. It's a lot of fun, it keeps you busy, and it's better than a kick in the pants, absolutely. But doing voiceover work doesn't make you rich. It just doesn't.
I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.
When I started, I was doing all the good comedians I'd ever seen. Then I developed my own voice. My routines are my natural way of looking at the world.
Cartooning was a good fit for me. And yet now, years later, I almost never think about it.
I was always into cartoons and animation.
