I Just Want To Be In My

What's Kind Of Wonderful About Being The Voice In An Animated Film Is You're A Small Part Of An Enormous Production. And In A Way, You Get To Remain A Little Bit Objective.

To Me, The Tragedy About This Whole Image-obsessed Society Is That Young Girls Get So Caught Up In Just Achieving That They Forget To Realize That They Have So Much More To Offer The World.

Kids Not Only Understand [a Dark Story] But Appreciate It … Because In The Real World There's Fear, And Dark Things Happen No Matter How Young You Are. People Lose Parents, People Lose Friends … There's Darkness In The World. So I Think When Kids Are Talked To In That Way, They Appreciate It. They're Not Being Given Some Candy-coated, 'oh, This Is A World Where There Are No Stakes.' I Think That Actually Insults Their Intelligence.

Nowadays I'd Describe Myself As Earnest, Terribly Earnest. I'm The Person Who Wants Everybody In The Room To Feel Important And Happy.

I Struggled With Being A Latino Growing Up In Los Angeles. I Felt Very American. I Still Do. I Went To 35 Bar Mitzvahs Before I Went To A Single Quinceanera. I Could Talk All Day About My Culture And What It Means To Me.
