fun thinking challenges
I think with challenge comes a little more fun.
teacher thinking training
Even when I was an actor in training, one criticism my teachers had was that I should think about directing instead of acting, because the best actors see the material they're working on through blinders. They can't see anything but their role. I could never really do that.
baby numbers despair
Life and families and babies are all joyous gifts. But if we do not begin to truly account for our numbers, we will surely create an ecological crisis that will only lead to anguish and despair.
thinking community insane
There is no community service in Seinfeld. But rather than lauding that, I think it shows the insane banality of it.
stupid people live-simply
People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live.
love girl play
The actress (Heidi Swedberg) is this wonderful girl, and ... I love her! i couldn't figure out how to play off of her. Her instincts for doing a scene - where the comedy was - and mine were always misfiring.
kids divorce parent
Divorce is very difficult, especially on the kids. Of course, I'm the result of my parents having stayed together, so you never know.
college boston towns
Boston was a great town to go to college in. Maybe that's why there's so many colleges there. I love the town, and I loved Boston University.
character embrace used
Thrilled that Gov. Romney enjoys my old character. I enjoyed the character he used 2 b 2. If he'd embrace that again, he'd b a great candidate.
performance
You need to find the size of performance that's appropriate to the material, appropriate to the shot, or appropriate to the scene.
challenged eight excited finding number
It's a question of finding the right thing, if I'm going to be an actor... if I have to get up eight times a week for a number of months, I want to be excited and challenged from the day I start to the day I leave.
directing
I still don't know much about directing a movie.
excited good looking love none people respect work
There are always things that I'd love to do. As an actor, none of them are specific; all I'm looking for are things that are good quality, that are challenging for me to work on, and even better if I get to work with people that I respect and am excited to work with.
son rocks laughing
Things that make me laugh range from a wonderful stand-up like Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K. and Chris Rock to my son Gabe, who does great improv work. I also look backwards to the great comedic actors like Jackie Gleason, Paul Lynde and Phil Silvers.
