character play lucky
I've been lucky to play characters that are really broad.
character thinking hands
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.
jobs character thinking
The way I see the job, my definition of it, is to create characters to the best of your ability and then fit into what's trying to be accomplished in the general framework of the film. I think that's whether you're doing this- even if you're doing musical theater. That's what I think an actors job is. I don't know. I like to think what an actors job is is to create characters.
hollywood bars trendy
I don't hang out at trendy Hollywood bars.
ice ice-skating skating
I tried ice-skating and wasn't very good at it.
country russia sometimes
Russia itself is an extremely complex country, and sometimes I feel like all of that comes back to haunt me. I can see why so many Russian writers were so tortured.
russia connections feels
I don't feel any connection to Russia.
teenager crazy moving
Teenagers are like atoms when they're moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other. Everybody's got such a crazy hormonal drive and reacting to each other differently and getting upset over little things. High school puts all these potential explosions in one place.
thinking passive-aggressive bother
I'm not passive aggressive. If something bothers me, I think about it, then I act on it. I express it.
nice land car
It would be nice to live off the land and fix cars.
distance long intense
Every relationship I've been in becomes long-distance because of work. It's never worked out. It puts an intense strain on the relationship, and at a certain point, it becomes too difficult.
people awful these-days
I'm actually embarrassed to tell people I'm Russian these days, because it's become such an awful place.
two nerd want
There are two parts of me. There's the really critical, film-nerd part of me that loves that, and then there's the part of me where I'm like, "I really didn't like that movie, but I want to work with that director because he loves actors."
school teens punk
I've always loved punk music, since I was in my early teens, since middle school.
