It wasn't as though I really made a commitment to it there wasn't anything else around. So I wasn't driven to become an actor.. it just seemed to be the thing that I managed to do best.

I started my career giving a clinic in bad acting in the film, The Silver Chalice, and now I'm playing a crusty old man who's an animated automobile [in Cars]. That's a creative arc for you, isn't it?
