dark men suits
A man always looks good in a dark suit.
magic champagne adolescence
My adolescence was all tits and champagne. I'm downplaying the magic of it all.
funny elements parts-of-life
I can't not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me.
kids order color
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this idea of opening a restaurant back in Indiana on a little pond. The guests would order their dinner and then take a little boat out with a colored flag on the front of it. When the matching color of the flag on their boat went up on a flag pole, their dinner was ready!
college doors giving
I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. Not to date myself, but cable was just coming on. I had terrible territories, and they would give me $25, if I got somebody to let them come and just put the little cord in their house.
thinking term-paper training
I was always explaining why my term papers were never on time. I think that's where I got my acting training!
talking corporations bigs
Talking about corporations - they're so big. There's not a person at a corporation.
jobs thinking faces
We all have to lead double lives, not just celebrities. The face we put on publicly with our jobs and certain situations. I think that's part of the human condition.
real sunshine missing
'Little Miss Sunshine' was one of those small movies that you don't hold out huge hope for. It's usually found in small pockets. But, it ended up getting a real following and worked out pretty well.
interesting stories easy
It's not easy to tell a story about writers and make that feel like a complete story and an interesting story.
cities mexico mexico-city
I've always thought Mexico City was incredibly dynamic.
jobs fun thinking
There's times when I'll see a show, or something cooking on TV, and think, 'That can really be fun when it's working.' But it's a grind. I did that at NBC, it was five days a week. I was doing 'Talk Soup' and 'Later' at the same time. It's a hard job, more difficult than people realize.
real taken liberty
Whenever Hollywood gets involved with real life events, certain liberties have to be taken.
years people buzz
I'm very leery of show business, having been in Los Angeles for the last 10 years. Buzz is a dangerous thing that I've heard applied to a lot of people that I've since not heard of again.
