I forced myself to stop laughing, which is really an unnatural thing.
You laugh, and it’s like, ‘I have to stop laughing like that.’
And now I don’t laugh like that anymore.”

“The impressions, and just… we’re making too much of it.
“If you say do an impression, they’ll do that laugh.
They’ll talk like me, and they’ll talk like the Donkey [character fromShrek].
