character play brilliant
Adam Sandler is truly brilliant. He plays these goofy characters, but he is a brilliant fellow.
sky jigsaw-puzzles blue
To me acting is like a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw puzzle is of the sky and all the pieces are blue. Out of this you have to create a human being and put it together.
kids america way
I do most of my work with kids. They are the very foundation of our future. We are so incredibly disrespectful to them in America in every way because they can't vote.
love talking guy
When you love what you do, then you're talking to one of the luckiest guys on the face of the earth.
mind theater capacity
The theater of my mind has a seating capacity of just one, and its sold out for all performances.
giving needs irony
Making a show is also economics. Because the irony is, or the shame of it is, you cannot create a show instantaneously. It needs to be massaged. You need to see who is relating to who. How is it working with the audience? You need to give it a chance for the audience to find it, because there are so many outlets. And the audience doesn't know where to go.

It is the parent's job to see how their child learns and to make sure that the children's self confidence is buoyed at all times, or they will plummet like a stone.

If you make compelling television, they will come.

When I was growing up, I was told I was stupid and that I would never achieve. I suffered from dyslexia, and in those days it wasn't recognised.
child compute learned learns
Not every child learns the same way. I could not learn through my eyes. Reading was impossible. Math, to compute it in my mind, was impossible. I learned everything through listening.
knew surreal
It was surreal to think the Queen of England not only knew who I was but thought enough of what I do to give me an award.
love plane scene
When I'm on a set, and I'm in between a scene or on a plane waiting, I read Twitter and I love it.
