Martyn and The Bad Wilf Network

"The characters are famous. It's not false modesty. No, we don't draw them. We don't write them. But there is something about the soul and the voice, and I think the two, in this instance, are absolutely, inextricably linked. And when it's done well, when you have people like Steven Spielberg all the way down, who are the best of the best, top of the line. Then you really have to work to screw it up." - Rob Paulson.
