"I’ve done it from such a young age, and every year I seem to love it more. It’s such a creative atmosphere and the people you work with are a total blast. We never stop laughing."

"In the voice acting classes, you’re usually in a larger group, and whether you do well or you don’t do well, you’re learning and you’re slowly growing. Whereas, when you’re in a studio environment where big bucks are being spent on the executives who are there on the studio time with all the other voice actors and the time they have them there, you really get put under the gun. You have to sink or swim. You become put into that fight or flight mode. So I wouldn’t say I was forced, but I had to learn the proper style and what the director and the executives were looking for quickly and on the spot. That kind of pressure, I think, helped propel my talent faster than it would have necessarily in a classroom environment."

"In a movie, however, you might see an actor playing a character, and the actor may be a super grumpy person in real life, and that will, of course, come through. But you tend to think that’s just a character choice. But when you can see a long-running show and someone has made significant personal changes in their lives, you can really see that come across on screen."
