TFK Q&A: Shrek the Ogre

WHO Shrek the Ogre

CLAIM TO FAME Stars in Shrek, in theaters May 18.

Q What was it like to film a movie with such famous fairy-tale stars, including the Seven Dwarfs?

A It was little a intimidating to work with so many famous characters. The dwarfs are experienced actors. And that Gingerbread Man is one tough cookie!

Q What are the best, and worst, things about being an ogre?

A I didn't get picked on too much at school, you know, what with being big and green. But the worst part was-well, being big and green!

Q You eat bugs. What's the tastiest bug you've had?

A Stink bug. Definitely the best. It's great for freshening your breath as well.

Q You teach the other characters how important it is to look beyond outside appearances. What do you hope people will learn from the movie?

A How to cook weedrat. Oh, and all the stuff you just said, of course! No, seriously, growing up like I did, you learn how important it is not to judge someone just by looks. I mean, I really liked Princess Fiona even though she was pretty.
