People Are Not Patient Anymore.

Characters Don't Belong To Anyone, Not Even The Person Who Plays Them.

Cats Are Very Independent Animals. They're Very Sexy, If You Want. Dogs Are Different. They're Familiar. They're Obedient. You Call A Cat, You Go, 'cat, Come Here.' He Doesn't Come To You Unless You Have Something In Your Hand That He Thinks Might Be Food. They're Very Free Animals, And I Like That.

There Were Many Generations Of Latino People Coming To This Country, Coming From Difficult Political Or Social Situations In Their Own Countries, And They Worked Very Hard To Have Their Kids Go To Universities. Well, Those Kids Came Out And They Are Now Doctors And Architects, Or They Are On The Supreme Court. That Has A Reflection In Hollywood. So, We Are Actually Very Proud That Our Characters Are Latinos, And I Think It's Good For Diversity And Cultural Interaction.

I Think Shrek Makes An Effect In Older People. And There Are Many Things In The Movie That You Saw That Are Not For Kids. Kids Would Not Understand Certain Things.

If You Become Very Self-conscious About What You Are Doing, You Kill. You Kill The Character. Then It Doesn't Work. You Have To Come From A Sincere Place. And You Don't Think Too Much. I Don't Go To The Hotel And I Start Thinking What Am I Going To Say Tomorrow And Start Writing Things Down.
