Quotes

“My puppeteer was Olly Taylor. The first couple of sessions, I said, "Who's the guy going the Scientist?" It was Olly Taylor, and I loved his vocal performance. [expressing his inner monologue at the time] "Why are you voicing this guy? He's great!"”
“[in his Larry 3000 voice] One reviewer said, "Larry 3000 makes C-3PO look like a teamster"! [in his normal voice] Which I thought was so interesting, 'cause I never thought about... I mean, because he was a robot. So what sexuality is involved there?”
