No, I stopped doing The Voice not because I felt pressured.
I wanted to make sure I didn't do it for that reason.
because I felt that was the right thing to do, that it was, and animation has gone that way, not really because of me, I might've contributed with that decision, but,
especially in that voice actor world, there's much more thought put into, well, who should really do this voice?
If we're trying to say anything substantive with this character, perhaps more than as equal to who's voicing it, do we have writers in the room who actually know that point of view?
There were no Indian writers in the room for years on The Simpsons or black writers or that many women, really.
The problem on either extreme side is, you know, the woke, you know, thought police stuff, they usually have a point.
They just take it so far that you could get away from me.
You know, and on this side, it's like, nobody can say anything anymore.
You know, in my ground water was that there's nothing wrong with Don Rickles or Peter Sellers doing in Brown Face or a lot of other examples.
And we don't do a lot of that stuff anymore for some good reason.
It's not like one thing or another.
