accepted future great kirk knowing needed origin originally people stories took
I think origin stories are a great way to get people reinvested in a story. I mean, we originally accepted 'Star Trek' without knowing anything about Kirk or Spock. All we needed to know was that it took place in the future.
billy carrie directed empire favorite george great james lucas mark million possible seen strikes
The movie I've seen a million times - wait, that's not possible - my favorite movie of all times is 'The Empire Strikes Back,' directed by Irvin Kershner, executive-produced by the great George Lucas and stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones.
feels lucky people three wayne work
It's weird to make new friends, but we're three seasons in with 'The Exes,' and now it feels a lot like 'Scrubs,' where I'm very lucky because I get to work people like Wayne Knight, who I really like.
heart thinking race
I don't think there's a problem with dating somebody outside of your race, as long as you're doing it because you want to be with that person. Everybody tells you what you should do when you're dating, but if you follow your heart, it usually works out.
stars dad war
I saw The Empire Strikes Back the week that it came out. My father was a huge Star Wars fan. And so when it came out, my dad took me.
would-be imagine jamie
An ideal movie would be, like - to get this to happen, I have to work so much harder - but imagine Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy... Who else? Donald Faison. Directed by Steven Spielberg. That would be awesome.
bad-day thinking frustration
You just have those days. You just allow yourself to have those days. I think everybody has bad days. So because of that, when you recognize it, just allow it to be. It is what it is. I don't think you should ever stifle your frustration, ever.
way managers hard
Until Scrubs, I didnt have a business manager. I learned everything on my own - and I learned the hard way.
want actors comedic
I dont want to be just considered a breakout comedic supporting actor. I want to be a breakout actor in anything thats a lead.
lying tomorrow not-afraid
There's always fear. Always fear. Anyone who says they are not afraid is lying to you. Because this can all change tomorrow.
team successful trying
There's so many great things that come with being successful. The one thing that is weird is trying to figure out whose intentions are in the right place, and who is really on your team.
bad-day bad-years one-day
One bad day could turn into a bad year if you're not careful. Or, a bad rest of your life if you're not careful. Because of one day!
opportunity luck individual
A lot of luck, and being prepared when the opportunity came. There are talented individuals out there who didn't get the break that I got. Or when the break came, they weren't ready for it.
listening mind cost
You just ignore it! It's not that you don't care anymore, it's that you stop listening and paying attention to it. Because everybody has an opinion. Talk is cheap - it's free! And I say that like, if you don't like the stuff I have to say, pay me no mind - it will cost you nothing.
