Думаю те, кто знакомы более-менее со мной, знают мою любовь к Питеру Каллену.
Собственно, я этого особо и не скрываю. Эта статья для его фанов, и меня в том числе

Интервью с Питером, английский изыгИнтервью Эрика Голдмена с Питером, опубликованное 30-го сентября.

EG: Transformers has always been successful, to say the least. But when you see this third movie come out and it makes over a billion dollars, is it just staggering for you to see how big the series is?
PC: Yes it is. It's a staggering thought, and it's humbling at the same time. There's so much involved to get it where it is. There is such great talent behind the scenes as well as from the artistry to the conception to the writing to the directing to the acting. There are so many ingredients that go into creating a success story like Transformers, but this one is certainly unique. For me, I take great pride in being a part of it. It will never cease to be an area of conversation in my life, and thankfully so, because it is such a positive feeling to be able to talk about it. It's one of the highlights of my life.

EG: When you're making the feature films, at what point to do you actually record the voice? Do you get to see any footage?
PC: I see a lot of footage in different stages. I've seen pencil sketches in front of me on a big screen, to some digitally animated in one process of creativity. There may be a little color that's being added to it at the time, but certainly it's current for me to see, so I have the picture and I know what's going on. And [I record] to finished moments of digital animation, at the same time. So, I work in that room with Michael [Bay] and an engineer. Then behind me, of course, is the control room; the great guys back there that are making everything happen technically. But it's basically me and a big screen and a microphone. There will be a lot of moments where there will be a little confusion as to what happened prior and what's going to happen, because I wasn't privy to an entire sсript. I would rely on Michael to get me the information necessary to govern my lines correctly and maintain the character at the same time.

EG: In the third film, the Autobots are cast out at one point by the humans. Is it interesting for you to play Optimus in a less-than-trusted position, considering that's not the norm for him?
PC: True - and I never knew where I was going to be! [Laughs] I shared the same moments of curiosity as you did. From day to day, each recording session would further my curiosity. "What's going to happen now? Am I coming back? Where am I going from here? Am I gonna get killed?" It was always interesting. It was always exciting to at the same time. I was not privy to what everybody else was, which was good. It kept me on my toes.

EG: There are moments in the third film that some fans felt were out of character for Optimus, notably when he keeps the fact that the Autobots are alive secret while the Decepticons are attacking Chicago. Whether or not you agree with those criticisms, is it gratifying for you to realize that the fans are so invested in this character that they'd say, "I don't know if Optimus would do that!" They clearly really and truly care about this character.
PC: Yeah. When I think about that, it brings back the relationship between the fanbase and Optimus Prime, and it's so unique on its own. And that goes back all the way to 1984. It's something that is, by itself, a very strong core - Prime and fanbase. It's something that transcends the business world. It transcends the normal concepts of entertainment in the film industry. It's unique, and I share with the fanbase... And I hate to use it in such a general term, because one fan to me is the entire fanbase and I look at that fanbase as one individual, because we both share a unique experience. That's a bond that was created that I became aware of over time. It's a bond that's going to remain as long as I'm alive and I value it highly. It's a very unique thing to have as an entertainer or as an actor.

EG: I've seen the reactions Transformers fans have to you at conventions, and legitimately touching moments where fans express how much this character has meant to them. It must be amazing for you to realize the impact Optimus Prime has had.
PC: Yes. It punches me right in the heart when I encounter those moments, and there are many. I can't begin to tell you the effect that it's had on me because it's huge, and for anybody to go through life and have an impact on somebody else's life, it gives you that sense that you've made a difference. To be able to communicate that back in an individual is a golden moment, and it touches me to the very core. I'm really proud to be able to have the opportunity to feel that, and it's hard to describe. It really is, Eric. It's very hard to describe. I'm sure you get the understanding of what I'm trying to say.

EG: Oh, definitely. I'm also guessing, on a somewhat more humorous level, that there are times where they might bring up minutia from a specific episode that was a long time ago, and you're impressed by what they remember about the show?
PC: True. I like the idea that they recall little things that I can't even remember, the little details. I've been asked to stray away from the norm and to do something comedic [as Optimus]. I haven't done that yet, and I don't think I will. I don't want to put humor-esque… Regardless of if its satirical or it's a parody of some kind or another, I want to maintain that sense of dignity to it. But the minutia that you talk about, it pops up every now and then, and I'm always amazed because it's really hard to remember the little incidents that happen during a recording session or perhaps the ad-libs that came out.

EG: Is there a line of dialogue that seems to have struck the biggest chord that you're asked to repeat or people tell you is your favorite?
PC: There is more than one line. There are ones that certainly stand out more than others… "Hold on to your dreams. The future is built on dreams." This was from a young boy who eventually died of cancer, and he was into crocheting. He crocheted the image of Optimus Prime standing, having transformed, and his motto was, "Hold on to your dreams. The future is built on dreams." He never got to finish it, but the children in the hospital did, who were in his ward all suffering from similar or different circumstances, but certainly very, very sad, emotional... And to bring that to mind, that would be the most poignant, and I would say one that's most endured. [Editor's Note: Cullen said the next line in the Optimus voice, and yes, I got chills] "Hold on to your dreams. The future is built on dreams." And I just think of Michael, the young boy, and his heart and the effect that Optimus had on him and the hope that it gave him. So that's one. And "Till all are one," I think is a great line. There are so many.

EG: That's incredible. And these days, you're also doing Transformers Prime where a lot of fans, myself included, are so happy to have you and Frank Welker working together again. What's that like for you?
PC: It's the greatest pleasure of my life, Eric, without a doubt. We get to record once a week, and altogether, the cast, every one of them, I am just in awe of. We are all like a unit. We are one team, and I've never experienced this before in a studio. And every one of us shares that same feeling, and we express it every time we're together. The joy that we have working together, it comes across. To put Frank next to me as we are, Megatron and Prime standing side by side again, in serious altercation form. Then, when the mic is off, we're in hysterics. He still tries to make me laugh while I'm drinking water so that it will come out my nose. He still can do it. Frank Welker is one of the greatest talents that I've ever known in my life. To work with him again, there are no words to describe it. It's a pleasure and it's an honor, and he's such a good friend. It's there, and it's going to continue to be there thanks to The Hub and Hasbro. The Transformers Prime series and the people involved in it, it's wonderful.

EG: When you're making a billion dollars, it's hard to believe there won't be another Transformers film. Has anyone said anything to you yet?
PC: Oh, I think there will be. Gee, I want some of that. [Laughs] Yeah, I don't think it can end. It's such a huge brand, and it's had such an effect on people all over the world that I don't think it's going anywhere. And if anybody had the decision to bury it, they would be insane.
