Jodi Benson's quotes

• I am blessed to perform in the studio and on the concert stage.
• I think God calls and encourages us to dream big, but sometimes we put God in a box in a very small way, when God wants us to look outside the box.
• I homeschool, so the start of the day is reading Bible scripture, memorization, and prayer.
• The thing that I enjoy about animation is the fact that it is unbridled, and there are no boundaries; when you are in the room, you don't have to focus on your clothing, make-up, hair, your choreography or your blocking; you really do have total freedom.
• I have a lot of mermaid stuff. I did start collecting a lot before I had children because I didn't know if I would have a boy or a girl. So I saved everything.
• 'The Little Mermaid' changed my life.
• I really like worship music. It settles my soul. Gets me back on track. The lyrics are almost like a prayer, so it's my go-to.
• Connecting with the kids is a great joy for me. I love meeting them backstage or at a signing event. I am overwhelmed when I meet kids who struggle with terminal illnesses.
• I love working for Disney! They are my family.
• Anything that has to do with Disney and Pixar, I am on board with. That is where my heart and family are. So when they call, I jump.
• I want to live outside of the box, and I definitely don't want to put God in a box, so I want to be able to dream big and kind of let that go of my small-mindedness.
• Homeschooling has given us some wonderful flexibility and some great life experiences, especially with our son.
• I think good entertainment makes you feel something... it can be a variety of different feelings.
• I've done a variety of projects in different areas of the entertainment industry.
• I remember when John Lasseter called me back in the late 1990s to personally invite me to come be the voice of Barbie in 'Toy Story 2.'
• I was the original voice of Mattel's Barbie for an '80s claymation workout video.
• All I've been a part of has been thanks to the Disney company: the job, experience, travel, opportunities have come thanks to Disney. Working for Disney was not part of my original plan, but it was part of God's, and it shows that God is still moving.
• I can only speak for my husband and myself, but we don't feel like we could do any of this parenting without our faith.
• I pretty much came out of the womb singing. I think I sang all the time.
• I love working with talented young performers.
• I can't sing, perform, do anything apart from Christ. I have no power or strength of my own.
• I am a follower of Jesus. My husband really brought me to the Lord when I was 18 and I am so lucky to have a platform through the studio.
• When I do my concerts, you have got to think about everything else; so you have got to think about your gown, your hair, your body, and how you present yourself on stage.
• My husband has a gift for reaching out to people in need. I always look over and see him connecting to someone who needs to talk or needs some support.
• For me, I was able to make that statement of faith early on when my career began, so there weren't really a lot of surprises. People around me knew where my husband Ray and I stood as far as my faith went.
• I grew up with 'Cinderella.' So that was my go-to Disney film, definitely. It was princess-related, and coming from a smaller area in Illinois and wanting to do something greater than myself in Broadway, that was a film that I could really relate to.
• I have a studio at my house, and there is a sister studio for Disney which is about 45 minutes away, and we haven't dropped a beat. In the art of animation and voiceover work, you can pretty much work from anywhere.
• I think God must have had something in mind for me that was not on my radar when I first started out in New York. Back then, doing animated voices meant your career was done - it was looked down upon.
