My Trouble Is I Talk First And

I Can Play Any Instrument If You Give Me 20 Minutes.

It's Always Been My Mom And I Against The World.

I'm Not Really A Big Candy Eater.

I've Been Singing My Whole Life, Since I Was A Kid; But Never Formally As A Career. I Did It In Plays When I Was Younger, And I Sang All Styles Of Music: Everything From Italian Opera To Blues.

I Got A Phone Call From George Miller [the Director] Asking Me To Play This Role. We Sat Down And He Showed Me On His Computer A Documentary-type Montage Sequence Of Real Penguins Swimming, In An Esther Williams Synchronized Sort Of Way, And Doing Things I Have Never Seen Them Do. Then He Explained His Vision Of The Film, Asked Me To Read The Script And To Voice The Character. I Was Cast A Little Bit Later, And He Let Me Do The Singing As Well!
