Jeff is an animator, and I hired him right out of college. So he was at Blur for, I don't know, 15 years. And he's a character animator, that's his first and foremost thing. When he attacked the design problem, he's thinking of it as an animator. He's thinking, I gotta have a character who can look like he got a pair of shoes from a kid's bedroom. I have to have hands that can open up doors and pick up human objects. A character with no teeth is a problem for animators, and those eyes that are in the default design, they're not anything that approaches real. It was really hard to do. On the other hand, you have a brand that everybody knows, and everybody loves to look at this character, but he's gotta fit into this real world. And there's a lot of examples where there's a translation of that. So he does it, and of course, mayhem ensues. So then, I go over to Jeff and I said, 'here's what you need to do: you need to go out, and you need to say, I f*cked up to the fans, you need to say mea culpa, I hear you, we will fix this,' and Jeff said, 'already did it.' He didn't wait for the corporate machine to get around to putting out a message, which I feel like would've been the totally wrong thing to do. He just did it. It was the smartest thing he could've possibly done. I know it's goofy to say this, but I was very proud of him."
