Shrek: [to Donkey] WHY are you following me? Donkey: Oh, I'll tell you why. [starts to sing] Donkey: 'Cause I'm all alone / There's no one here beside me / My problems have all gone / There's no one to deride me! / But ya gotta have friends... Shrek:...
Shrek is not like anything anybody has ever seen before.
Donkey: I don't get it, Shrek. Why didn't you just pull some of that ogre stuff on him? You know, throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grind his bones to make your bread? You know, the whole ogre trip. Shrek: Oh, I know. Maybe I could have decapi...
Since we made Shrek in the digital format, you actually can see it in its purest form digitally.
Shrek: Donkey, two things okay? Shut... up!
[arriving at the Dragon's castle] Shrek: Sure, it's big enough... but look at the location! [laughs]
[first lines] [a fairytale book appears] Shrek: [narrating] Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort, which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded...
Donkey: Hey, look at this! [he goes up to an information booth and pulls a lever. After some clicking, many mechanized marionettes pop out and begin singing] Clockwork Chorus: Welcome to Duloc, such a perfect town / Here we have some rules, let us la...
I had done Shrek as a Canadian and I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I knew I could give more to it.
I was a little shocked at how adult some of the humor was, because I was never that into animation before and when I watched 'Shrek' I really laughed out loud.
[Monsieur Hood abducts Fiona] Shrek: Hey, that's my princess! Go find your own!
Old Woman: [watching Shrek fight] The chair! Give him the chair!
Donkey: [staring at the priest] Mother Fletcher, he already said it! Shrek: Oh, for the love of Pete!
I think that what we were doing with the live musical version of 'Shrek' was taking the ideas and the structure of the movie and not necessarily reinventing it but reimagining it. It is a very different medium to perform.
I think that the major message in 'Shrek: The Musical' is be who you want to be. I think that it is about being your true self in this world.
Trying to please everyone can be very hard, but, like 'Shrek' or 'The Simpsons,' 'Robin Hood' manages to entertain adults and children at the same time, but in different ways.
Donkey: Hi, Princess! Princess Fiona: It talks! Shrek: Yeah, it's getting him to shut up that's the trick!
Shrek: Thank you, thank you very much. I'm here 'til Thursday. Try the veal.
Princess Fiona: I wanted to show you before... [turns into an ogre] Shrek: Well... er... THAT explains a lot. Lord Farquaad: [revolted] It's disgusting!
Shrek: I live in a swamp! I put up signs! I'm a terrifying ogre! What do I have to do to get a little privacy?
I think Shrek makes an effect in older people. And there are many things in the movie that you saw that are not for kids. Kids would not understand certain things.
