thinking cities people
When I look back on my childhood, I think of that short time in Beirut. I know that seeing the city collapse around me forced me to grasp something many people miss: the fragility of peace.
movie games guessing
Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.
color smell feelings
Let's keep the chemists over here and the food over here, that's my feeling. What do I know? But that is a big aspect of fast food is their ability to artificially taint the colors and the smells and stuff to stimulate appetite.
stars actors admire
I don't consider a lot of actors that I really admire movie stars.
interesting scripts stories
Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.
problem
Everybody's family has problems.
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!
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!
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.
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.
