Children have a great urge to learn about dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind. Kids can't curb their enthusiasm when they're in a hall of dinosaurs and mammoths and mammoth hunters and trilobites and giant fish that could chomp up a shark. These natural objects in motion and context make kids want to read; you can't stop them from reading and thinking.

I can only really speak for myself and what I've noticed in my kids and the people in my life, but because dinosaurs were real, and yet they seem so fantastical, is why they held such a huge fascination for me as a child. They're so different from human beings.

I was gaga about dinosaurs as a kid.

Kids are an important audience to reach for the future of the planet.

I've loved dinosaurs since I was teeny tiny.

I do love children, but I don't really talk about that in auditions.

I've got a 12-year-old grandson who, when he was 3 years old, before he could say many other words, could name the different kinds of dinosaurs.

I love kids, but they are a tough audience.
