About.com had the chance to sit down with stand-up comedian/actor Patton Oswalt about his leading role in the upcoming Pixar movie Ratatouille. He has some interesting stuff to say about how he gets into character, and what it's like to play a rat. Like this, when asked how he handles his voice when doing a scene that features his character Remy running around and being chased: "“You try to run around or duck or reach for something you can’t get. There’s a scene when I see my dad again and we hug. Brad Bird came in the booth and gave me a hug because when you hug someone, it changes how you talk without you having to think so much about it. So yeah, it got pretty physical. There’s a scene where I’m kind of drowning and they made me - I had this big thing of water - I’m drinking water, going, ‘Glub, glub, glub, blahhh…’ I kind of coughed it up and got it all over me. It was hilarious.”
