I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.

I think TV shows have usurped films!

You're a smaller fish in the U.S. There's just so many more TV shows, and actors, and actresses. Where as in the U.K. you're in a much smaller market there.

There's sort of a very symbiotic thing that happens on good TV shows with great writers, which is that they start to sort of embrace who the actors are and try to make the roles more specific to what they bring and what they can do.

You have to understand that I'm not just some guy who voices characters in animated movie and TV shows.

I never have kids in movies or in TV shows.
