I don't really remember much about the '60s at all. You know, 1970 is the first year I remember pretty well.
The craft Emmys are kind of the kids table at Thanksgiving. You're not really invited to the big dance. It's still really, really exciting, and the statue still counts.
You know those award shows. The cliche is that it's an honor just to be nominated, but that happens to be true. Whoever wins it in the end, I don't know, sometimes it feels arbitrary. Sometimes it feels like it's deserving.
You have to always physicalize, when you do animation recording. Otherwise, you won't get the performance right.
There's no experience like on-the-job training.
Literally, I see my writing as transcription - a transcription of what I see, hear, think, live.
I bartended for a catering company for two or three years.
I ask for a lot of advice from different fathers - all kinds of dads.
As an actress, you're living something through the duration of the play and its geography. I've always seen writing the same way. It's like somehow I'm moving through the terrain of the book as a performer.
It's not really difficult to go from one voice into the next.
It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.
When you become deeply involved with someone, their problems become yours, and vice versa. It's family.
Historically, there would always be people among the general population who had family members, friends, cousins who'd done time or who'd been in prison.
That's a true actor's nightmare: "Improvise in British sign language. Go."
