If I thought it was a bad idea, I wouldnt do it.
Im not chasing commerce and without being self-aggrandizing, I dont need to, he told theLos Angeles Times.

No, that would be disingenuous to the story.
That creative answer was easy.
The complicated thing, and why I was always hesitant, was I dont work forDisneyanymore.

Its not jerky for Warner Brothers to say, Were not employing you to go do a Disney show.
Its not going to be a mailed-in cash grab.
Someone was like, I hope this doesnt happen.
That made me incredulous.
Like, why the f would you care if it happened?
Hes like, I just love the show so much, it would tarnish it.
I dont think thats true.
Shows that I care about have had reboots.
This is my attitude: If its a show I love, Im gonna watch it.
If its great, Im gonna be super happy.
If its good, whatever, at least it didnt offend me.
Not on the internet.
But thats how I watch TV.
To me, thats a no-lose.
Whats the big deal?
Ill live with the consequences.
Theyve said its been so weird going back and watching every episode.
My ultimate goal on the whole thing is just to get the music restored to the old episodes.
According to sources, her character is factored into early plans for the reboot.
