couple pulling-away stories
Usually in stories there are big problems in the beginning or couples are pulling away, there's a lot of bitterness.
growing-up growing bon-jovi
When I was growing up I actually was into Bon Jovi!
actors directors great-confidence
I find that all great directors, and I would include Ben Affleck and Clint Eastwood in that, they have great confidence. And with great confidence comes great freedom for the actor.
teacher mean eye
I enjoyed learning something and, uh, so I think like with anything in life, in the schoolroom in an artistic endeavor, if you have just a really good teacher, it's inspiring. I certainly use, in my work, I mean, I used to rely heavily on imagery. I was obsessed with this photograph that was in the NY Times of a fish engulfing a smaller fish and this smaller fish had this look in its eyes; it knew what was about to happen and, I don't know how they ever captured such an image, but I've used that for a play I (did). It's called "Saved."
actors dependent
Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.
teacher new-york inspiration
The greatest inspiration I draw upon is, is this city (New York) and riding the subway and watching people and I find that's kind of like the best, the best acting teacher. You know, I wonder, like people who have huge celebrity, sometimes I feel bad, should this be one of their methods 'cause I don't know how they can observe life anymore, because they become the observed. So, I, I appreciate that New York can still do that.
laughing fool i-can
I can really laugh at myself and make a fool out of myself.
laundry knows know-how
I know how to separate my own laundry.
doctors tv-shows play
There are so many choices I made simply for health insurance. Is it the ideal role I wanted to play, or the TV show I wanted to be a part of? No, but it let me afford to go to the doctor.
