| Quotes: |
[on Mario] I love the character so much; he's so full of joy and optimism, and he faces challenges in life with a "Wahoo!". Life's an adventure, it's a wonderful gift!
<br />
<hr>
There's this certain level of passion at Nintendo. It's just so beautiful. They love the games, they love the characters. The drive that moves the technology forward I think is born out of the absolute love for the games.
<br />
<hr>
I love Mario so much; that character is marvelous and I love every Mario game.
<br />
<hr>
With acting, each thing you do is so very different. With video games it's just full-on energy and joy; it comes up out of the ground with a "Yahoo!". It's big and beautiful.
<br />
<hr>
I've always looked up to Mel Blanc growing up. I always thought that he was just the greatest voice actor ever, and what a thrill for him to just be given a blank slate and told to create the world of animation voice-overs. He was a true genius. |
