Billy: Robin Williams understands sonic performances. He understands what it's like to change your voice up. He understands what it's like to have theatre of the mind—and with your little strip of vocal cords, you're going to create heavens and hells and universes and populations of people, which is the whole idea that a voice person has in their head. It's like, "Whatever it is, I'll be it."
(edit)
Billy: (On Futurama.) It had more layers than an onion. These writers meant business. There was a level for everybody. Your major could be celestial mechanics, and there'd be celestial-mechanics jokes.
(edit)
Billy: (Talking About Improv And ab-libing On Futurama) After you do what the writers kind of ask you to do, and then they have everything to choose from. And then David Cohen (head writer and executive producer) will say to me, "Do you have any idea what you want to do? Just whatever you feel like." I'll give it a try and sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't.
