Antonio Banderas<\/strong>: In the beginning, it was just a recurring character. I didn\u2019t know that it was going to have a long career of 10 years now. I wanted to give him a voice that doesn\u2019t match his body. It goes in the exact opposite direction. Cats aren\u2019t supposed to talk like that. He doesn\u2019t even talk like me. I created a voice for him that is more deeper. I think in that contrast is the source of comedy. That creates the comedy. I think it was at the Cannes festival in 2004 for Shrek, in front of everyone, there were so many interruptions by the audience every time Puss talked. We were missing lines because people were laughing so hard at Puss. At the end I had a dinner with Jeffrey Katzenberg and he commented to me the possibility of a movie for just Puss. <\/p>\n ShockYa<\/strong>: How did you feel having Latino characters in a big movie, and to the rest of the cast, did you learn something about Latino culture by making the movie? <\/p>\n Antonio Banderas<\/strong>: I think it’s better if the rest of the cast explains this. But, in fact, the original Puss in Boots fairytale, he was French. This is a victory for Spain. <\/p>\n Salma Hayek<\/strong>: First the World Cup, and now Puss in Boots! <\/p>\n ShockYa<\/strong>: It is very different being behind a mic and being in front of the camera. Did you find yourselves acting out behind the mic? <\/p>\n Antonio Banderas<\/strong>: I get really physical when I’m doing it. Sometimes Chris has to remind me to get closer to the microphone because I\u2019m unaware of what I’m doing physically. It\u2019s just all amazing to me. I came to this country without even speaking the language. The fact that they call me to use my voice is such a paradox. When I got to America, I thought if there was something I could not do, it would be animation. Here I am. I know the thing is working when I see the guys in the booth laughing. It\u2019s embarrassing to say this, but it\u2019s easy. It\u2019s fun. You don’t feel like you\u2019re spending so much money as when you are doing live action. There\u2019s 200 people there, spending all this money with each passing minute. In animation, if you want to throw out whatever comes to your mind, you\u2019re allowed to do it. Chris will not say, ‘Don\u2019t do that.’ You\u2019re putting together pieces of a puzzle. You take all that work and all these fantastic people on the creative side of the movie will put this together. <\/p>\n
