changed changing found history lack looking meaningful outside point quite solutions viable
I found that looking at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from an outside vantage point was actually quite distancing. The history of the conflict, the personalities, the violence, the distrust, and the seeming lack of viable solutions made meaningful involvement feel impossible. What changed that, for me, was changing the vantage point.
capitalize charges comic money second
Actors go, 'I just want to act.' And I say to them, 'You know, stop for a second and think about what charges you up the most. Do you want to be on the stage, do you want to be in film, do you want to be a comic actor? Do you just want to make it for the money and capitalize on your look and do commercials and soaps?'
funny jerry pounds seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld has an interesting theory. He goes, '20 pounds up or down, and you lose your funny.'
heavy
I was heavy as a kid. I mean, I kind of got it together for a while there in my 20s and early 30s.
accepted edwardian gets life sake stepped terrific
The show is like an Edwardian play - emotional life gets stepped on for the sake of accepted manners, and that's terrific for actors to play in.
dear near
'Broadway Bound' is near and dear to my heart, as it was one of my happiest times on Broadway.
allowed beloved came enjoy episode fact george himself indication met occasion played seemed
I met the real George Steinbrenner on only one occasion when he actually came and played himself on an episode of 'Seinfeld.' He seemed to really enjoy himself. I did not get to know him, but the fact that he allowed himself and his beloved team to be satirized on our show is an indication to me of his true character.
character fill finding fit mandate miracles question shoes tough
The mandate of our show is to find what makes us laugh. We had tough shoes to fill for this role, and finding someone to fit the character of Jeffrey was a challenge, if not a miracle. But when miracles happen, you don't question them.
life
I have no illusions about having another 'Seinfeld' in my life.
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.
lack stopped stuck time
You know, because of the lack of budget, we had to find neighborhoods where time had stopped - kind of stuck in the '50s. And no place had that better than Staten Island.
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.
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.
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.
