Sometimes, you just have to go in there and bowl people over with your sheer force of will.

One of the things we love about Po [Kung Fu Panda] is that he's vulnerable. He's someone that we can all identify with because he has those insecurities. He's an outsider feeling guy.

Tigress is my alternate personality, especially with children. I love animation because you get to do things you don't normally get to.

I think the best thing I have is the introvert's ability to listen when you're working on something as complicated as this and you have to really be aware of everyone's specialized skills.

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

I'm a very soft-spoken person. I don't throw furniture. I don't throw tantrums.

Po's [Kung Fu Panda] unending enthusiasm is something we wish we could have. We can't help but root for him because of his geek energy.

Are you a Christian? she said.I answered:I am a Christian, I am a Jew, I am a Catholic, I am Muslim. I am each and everyone of you my child, look into the mirror and you will see me, as i see you..

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

Doubt, of whatever kind, can be ended by action alone.

If you don't score you are not going to win a match.

Regardless of where you're pitching, regardless of what goes on before or after your game, you still have to be ready.

I had an old typewriter and a big idea.

I love [my father] so much with all my heart and my soul with every bone in my body I love him so much because he's done so much for me.
