About.com has an interview with Patton Oswalt to promote the upcoming release of Pixar's Ratatouille. Here's a little:
When you picked up the script what was your first step in preparing to play a rat?”
“Here’s the thing, you don’t get the script till you get there to do
the voiceover. They just give you your sides. I’ve never read the whole
script, so more in general, I was focusing more on his obsession with
food and cooking rather than on his ratness. You’ll see in the movie,
he’s trying to rise above his ratness. Because being obsessed with good
food and cooking makes him kind of a freak in the rat world. ‘What are
you talking about? We don’t care about that!’ It’s the thing that you
are so in love with and obsessed with that everyone else is like,
‘Okay…’”And cooking isn’t something a rat would love.
“Exactly.”Ratness – did you coin that phrase?
“Yes, I’m coining the phrase ‘ratness’. Put a little ™ in a circle.”
