It's a wonderful acting challenge to tell a story and convey emotion with only your voice.

It's great that we can, however subtly, offer important lessons through cartoons that it's important to protect the environment.

I came into this business to create characters that moved people and told stories.

The minute we became a global society, especially now that we're all connected up with the Internet, people wanted to believe in something a little more interesting than their earthbound lives.

I've always challenged myself and the people who work with me to take new approaches to traditional business challenges, to push the envelope and constantly ask whether our sacred cows are still producing great milk.

I relate to what Gov. Romney brings. I know what it means to balance a budget. I know what it means to write a paycheck and not only cash one. I know what it means to create a job, and I know what it means to struggle with my business every day in terms of keeping our doors open any day but definitely in a difficult economy.

The vast majority of what I've seen written about me is not true. My family and friends - the people who matter to me - they know the real story.

Growing up, I lived a moderate lifestyle with my family.
