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.
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.
stupid people live-simply
People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live.
thinking community insane
There is no community service in Seinfeld. But rather than lauding that, I think it shows the insane banality of it.
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.
stills
I'm still bald, I just wear a toupee.
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.
fun thinking challenges
I think with challenge comes a little more fun.
stars tvs looks
Television, in particular, doesn't look for talent; it looks for personas. You have a great persona? You can be a TV star.
selfish important acting
Acting is not terribly important work, and I have always felt a bit of guilt about pursuing something that is so selfish. I love doing it, but it is never something that feels like it's going to change or save the world.
meaningful personality vantage-point
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.
may pay parking
Parking at a garage is like going to a prostitute. Why pay for it when you can apply yourself, and then may be you can get it for free.
new-york way west
Well, let's put in this way, I grew up in West New York, New Jersey.
uncles queens heart
But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker.
