Tom Kenny Quotations

SpongeBob is a good role model as far as imaginary creatures go. He works hard and his emotional highs are very high, he's either giddy or utterly devastating and crying like a lawnsprinkler... SpongeBob is bipolar.

I never thought of myself as an impressionist, so when I do audition for voice-matching things, I have to work really hard and do a lot of listening and trial-and-error.

I don't have confidence in my instincts, and I feel like I have to go through a very right-brain and left-brain process.

A lot of shows are more script-driven, like a prose script. As an actor, you never see a storyboard.

There's a lot of kids' shows that are really popular ratings-wise, but they don't sell a lot of stuff. A character on a backpack just doesn't have the same appeal as watching it on TV.

Obviously as a kid, for probably anybody who chose animation voiceover as a career in their adult life, Mel Blanc was the touchstone for everybody. He kind of invented the job and was the first voice actor to get onscreen credit.

Some people like doing crossword puzzles or Sudoku. I love auditioning. On camera, I hated auditioning. But voiceovers I like trying to figure it out, then getting in there and seeing how close you can get.

Weaker consumer spending backs the case for interest rates on hold.

There has been a lot of testing done on the racking strength provided by different types of spray foams, ... And the strength provided by closed-cell foams can be substantial.

I guess the good improvement in current account comes about on the back of a very strong rise in bulk commodity contracts.
