“A lot of people have said that I've got a voice that speaks to children. I think I've got a natural naivety to me. I'm childish.”

“In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.”

“I mean, it's fine when you're a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes, 'I've got this great game of pretend,' and you play... As an actor, getting to play, getting to use your imagination and be childish - it is weird but it's wonderful.”
