baseball son years
And because I have a four-year-old son I have become a great baseball pitcher. And, you know, juggler.
real cells years
Okay well - no that is a very real thing seven-year-olds asking for BlackBerrys and cell phones and things like that. And that's one of the things I love most about the show is the social satire.
thinking years culture
I think Hollywood has always, you know, there's always been glamour associated to it. And especially in the last ten years there has been a growing sort of obsession with celebrity life and celebrity culture.
jobs thinking years
It's a miracle to be an actor and to know that you have a job to go to a year from now is a rare thing, so I think peace of mind and financial stability come with that. Hopefully I'm a little wiser and have a little more perspective in my life than I did then.
commitment years littles
I'm a little commitment phobic, in that I've always been someone who likes to take things one year at a time because as we all know, a year can change everything in your life.
first-love years musical
That whole world of musical theater was my first love. It's where I wanted to be when I was three years old.
meaningful powerful thinking
We have so many different options now and ways to communicate digitally. But I don't think anything is more meaningful or powerful than a hand-written letter.
coffee people shapes
Oh it's fantastic because I get to whip people like David into shape and tell them to go get me coffee. Kidding - okay.
stars people important
And often when things turn to TV series there are so many different people with different agendas that things can morph. And so, you know, that was why having the executive producer title was important to me because even if I was the star and I had a concern, you know, that concern would only go so far. But having the title of executive producer actually makes them have to actually listen to me complain.
fun mean thinking
Oh Young Frankenstein - that's right, Body Heat, Raiders Of The Lost Ark. I mean, you know, it - they just keep going on and on and on - Mission: Impossible. And, you know, I think that the writers are having so much fun now with them that, you know, half the time, you know, people are just sitting around saying - trying to think of what's a great movie to copy.
real believe writing
And I don't know where to find Ashley Danfield and all the other lovely commentators who show me live courtroom trials. To me, you know, I'm obsessed with it. Like I think maybe if I wasn't an actor I'd be a litigator. But, you know, it's always just shocking to see what happens in real life because most of the things that you see on those trials if you tried to write them into a TV series you would say oh gosh, no one would believe that would ever happen. But yet they always do in real life.
thinking usa people
No it was never even discussed because it was, you know, an adaptation of a novel. And we - the mini-series encompassed the whole novel. And so it was always going to be a finite sort of event. And then I imagine when people started to really respond to the show and then we got ten Emmy nominations, USA sort of said, "Oh, I think maybe we have something here."
teacher children parent
It's essentially encouraging parents, teachers, and caretakers to remind children how special they are on a regular basis.
mom believe son
I'm a mom, and I'm always looking for ways to encourage, support, and embolden my son to help make him believe in himself.
