I often feel very guilty because of the time that I spend outside of my home and the little time that sometimes I have for my kids.

If they had offered me James Bond, I probably couldn't have gone to England anymore in my life. James Bond with an accent? That would have been something.

Sometimes I am just playing the character. I will move out of the way of the microphone, and they will have to tell me. Because I am moving around a lot. I am performing the cat. The animators look for that material, to see if they can put it back into the movie.

It's about paying attention to the little things, the details... Constantly rediscovering your partner, knowing there's a way out of any crisis.
