I think it is important that you care about the characters, and you are not just waiting for the next action sequence but have a vested interested in what happens to them.

Getting in and out of a character takes its own time for me.

As an actor, I'm familiar with having bursts of energy, where you're giving things a try, and then you have down time.

I know firsthand how agonizing waiting can be.

When you do a play, you have all this time to rehearse and grow into the character. In television, even though you're waiting and waiting and waiting, once you're actually on set engaging in the scene with another actor, time is of the essence.

Character is the ability to carry out a good resolution long after the excitement of the moment has passed.

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

I've waited my entire life to be busy. Whenever I hear actors complain about being busy, I think, 'shut up.' Because you do, you wait to be successful or to be able to work.

For some reason, being on time in this industry can be a lost art form, especially for actors! It's important to remember that other people are always waiting for you on set, and it's really unfair to make them wait.
