You just realize that at the beginning of ‘Scooby’ you’re just going to start at level ten and stay at ten the entire time. It’s hard. It physically beats you up. It’s definitely one of the hardest movies you can do.

When I was a young boy, I preferred cats to dogs. From the age of seven or eight onwards I just felt more comfortable with cats.
