I have always wanted to play Sweeney in 'Sweeney Todd.'
Theater is very much the world I'd like to get back to, particularly in New York, both as an actor and director.
I find when somebody says to me, 'I'm going to motivate you,' more often than not, they're not going to get me.
almost audience cast constantly difficult east good middle running seems situations stage
The Middle East is a very difficult stage to play upon. Without doubt, it is a good drama. And on occasion, there are situations so unimaginable, if not ludicrous, as to make them almost comic. But the cast is constantly changing, the audience is often disengaged, and it seems at times that no one is actually running the show.
against bit brushing hear interested lots love observe reasons work
One of the reasons I love acting is because I'm so interested in other people's lives, and I often incorporate things I hear or observe into my work. I've become a bit of a 'person addict,' and so I like brushing up against lots of different characters.
best los matter theater
In New York, the theater is a destination point. In Los Angeles, no matter how provocative, how successful, how star-studded the theater event may be, it is, at best, a second-class citizen.
kid learning motivated overcome school seeing
I can get motivated seeing a kid at my son's school overcome a learning disability.
Is it my end-all and be-all to become a standup comic? No.
against ashes bob created crew insane measure purposely stolen
We purposely created Bob out of the ashes of George. I would be insane not to measure things against 'Seinfeld.' I've stolen as much of the 'Seinfeld' crew as I could to give me a hedge.
