I take a hiatus every now and again, but I'm not good at that.

I think any kind of hiatus one takes in an artistic journey is going to make a huge difference. The pause will inform the choices that you make.

I like to work as much as I can, but I only really have the hiatus to work on other projects. I've kept myself busy recently. I voiced a character in 'Ice Age 4,' which was a lot of fun. I also did another small movie called 'The Scribbler.'

I try to keep the number of projects I'm involved in down to one per year.

As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.

Even on your hiatus, you feel like you need to keep the character in the back of your brain.

I'm narrating the television series Biography. I'm still involved in my music - I have a new album out. I have an animated project in development. I'm writing a lot of things and you never know if one of them is going to become a six or seven year project.

No new projects at the moment. There are restrictions to how much I can take on. And I need to finish those that I am committed to do before thinking ahead. But I'd rather they take final shape before we talk of them.

When I've finished one project, I start thinking about the next.

I usually have one project I'm focusing on but often have many other projects in the back of my mind for several years.
