pacing
When I read the script, I just started pacing back and forth, laughing. I thought, 'I could see myself doing this.' And it's set in New York? That's it.
normal persons
I had to bring myself back down to being a normal person again.
nice life-is-hard hard-life
Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
smart stupid mean
I don't care. I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that. Some actors actually think about what they're going to talk about during the interview--they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It's very smart, but it's so planned. I never think to do that.
jobs cities guy
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods. That's why I don't live in Los Angeles. Being physically away from Hollywood probably loses me a few jobs, but the best ones seek me out.
laughing
Make them laugh, and then make them listen.
stupid mean past
I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that.
phones used rings
There will come a day when the phone doesn't ring as much as it used to.
cities guy woods
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods.
family joy
The family is where most of our joy comes from.
thinking acting let-me
I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
school mean energy
I would love, more than anything, to do an out-and-out farce with huge physical energy. Just because you're from the minimalist school, it doesn't mean you can't go big.
fire focus everyday
Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.
Money is just something to be circulated.
