Hey, I love this film and I, I, I'm assuming you do too.
I'm assuming
I'm just
kidding.
You know,
you know what they say about, assume.
No, I, what am I talking about? I'm teasing.
I love this movie. I, I love Shrek. I love it.
Well, I love it because of the message that it sends. You know, and
I think that it's a message that everyone should hear, you know,
to, to, it's about acceptance and not to judge people for what they look like
to get to
know people accept yourself for who you are, don't judge yourself,
don't be critical of yourself
and, you know, love yourself.
And if you love yourself, then love comes to you and the world could be a better place,
you know. And I think if you give that to Children
at, especially at a young age,
then they live their life with that and they're not making fun of
kids on the playground because they're different than them and they're not,
you know, beating themselves up because they're not as skinny as another girl.
And, you know, then they end up, you know,
teaching to their Children that they can love
and accept themselves and other people and,
you know, maybe the world could be a better place. I don't know.
We're weird in our culture about acceptance
and we're really terrible with Children about it
because we, I think we bombard, you know, I mean,
we both work in an industry that bombards them with images
and then we end up saying, well, don't listen or believe all those images. Right.
Exactly. It's like here we go, we're gonna put this out there. But guess what?
You know, yy, you're, you should be an exception to this. You know, you just,
and it's true, it's very true.
It's we our culture, our society is built on image, image, image, image.
And you know, the thing is that people can't help the way that they are. You know,
if it, if it happens to be that it's,
you know, a girl who's,
who doesn't look like Britney Spears or if it's
a girl who does look like Britney spears,
you know what I mean?
Those girls cannot help the way that they look, you know,
and all they can do is accept the way that they look and, and,
and if you can accept that and you love yourself,
it's amazing what that confidence does for other people, you know, around you.
Um It brings people into a much more comfortable place
about the way you look and the way who they,
who you are and gives them a more of an ease about themselves.
So it's just, it's sort of that one thing. It's like, you know, one bad be
bad apple in the barrel ruins the whole bunch
is that one? You know, if it's a good solid group of good,
you know, one good apple can also make a difference. You know,
it's a great message. This is great.
You worked on this film while you were
doing Charlie's Angels. I
was
doing,
I was,
but this wasn't, this wasn't,
this wasn't difficult because I would, I came in and did sort of the bulk of my,
my performance while I was doing the Charlie's Angels training.
Um, but then, you know, you come back,
you know, eight months later and do more than you, you know, and before I did
that work, I had done work before. So it's sort of like,
you know, it was over 23 year period that I, that I did the work on this film,
voice acting is a blast.
You don't have to dress up
and
you get to create with your voice.
You get real accustomed to how you sound, don't you? Yeah, I, I
it's, it's a bizarre thing because you do create another voice, you know,
and for the character and, uh,
and III I, you, you think that you're, you're giving off a different kind of, you're,
you're being a different person but then you hear the voice back and you're going,
hey, but that's my voice
sort of.
But,
uh,
um,
yeah, it, it, it's definitely liberating and it create, you know,
there's a freedom to it where you get to just,
you know, go in there and there's no hair, no makeup, no lighting, no,
you know, touch ups, no costume, no mark to hit. No,
you know, and you just kind of go in there and have a great time and make a,
you know, ass out of yourself.
You make really interesting choices and I'm assuming you're making
those and not necessarily a team of people making those.
But
I mean, they, they are people that I trust, you know, their, their,
their opinion.
Um, but as far you, you, you can't make somebody do something they don't wanna do.
And as far as the way I work is that,
you know, I,
I have a group of people that I trust their taste and that they bring to me what,
what's out there, they find what's out there, they know what's going on
and then when it comes down to making the decision on something
I go it, it's, I have to make the decision for myself. I have to say yes or no.
You know, so I like it's, it's sort of, uh, goes through a process of, ok,
give me what, give me your thoughts on it
and I, you know, I have my own thoughts about it and then I just go,
what is my gut say and that's the final my gut is my final decision.
Her gut is her final
like a Star Trek episode.
You good to see you.
