(how he came about getting the role of Kaa in The Jungle Book)
Sterling Holloway: Walt came to me, and he's such a stickler for voices, and said when you're finished with what you're doing today on Winnie The Pooh, see what you can do with a snake because I can't find the right voice for it. I thought, wouldn't it be funny to have a snake with an aching back because it would be such a looong ache? (edit) Sterling Holloway: If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there. (edit)
