“I know that my father was a little nervous about me pursuing a career ...” — Ethan Slater Quote

I know that my father was a little nervous about me pursuing a career in the arts.

I feel very proud of everyone I've worked with on 'SpongeBob' because they're all brilliant artists working at the top of their game to make something really special, and I think audiences feel that.

It's inherently a part of my childhood and my development as a person and an artist, this childlike feeling knowing that something is missing but not quite knowing how to fix it. I'm always drawing on it.

I'm used to working hard and making sacrifices.

When the show starts, I am in my SpongeBob stance, and I walk like SpongeBob, and the first step that I take, I am SpongeBob.

Well, it was one of my most gratifying experiences because I could devote my knowledge and my talent for the good for the City of Washington, and all the Federal projects where the Fine Arts Commission had jurisdiction, and it was a tremendous experience.

Wrestling is one of the earliest and oldest martial arts there is.

I believe strongly in the power of arts education to engage and empower young people.

I do not think men have more talent. There are a great many women in the arts; novelists, painters, sculptors, poets-but the proportion is far lower in the field of song writing.

I feel that not only have I been out there promoting my style of karate, but just promoting the traditional martial arts, and it makes me very happy.
