About how why he accepted the part:
"Didn't have to read it or think about it too much. When they pronounced the word Shrek I said, 'Yes!' It didn't matter if it was a cameo or whatever. I wanted to be there and be part of that. And after [saying yes] it happened to be a bigger part."

About Puss n Boots:
"I stopped when I saw his eyes all watery and his ears down. It was love at first sight."
