creating acting world
I'm much more a writer than an actor. Although I have a great respect for that and I enjoy acting still, it really is about the world that I'm creating. That's where my future is.
want narrative different
I want to do different projects and be versatile. I don't want to get fixed into narrative comedy.
drama thinking vices
I think that you can make a drama and have it be intensely funny, and vice versa.
dog honesty real
The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.
smoking actors cigarette
I always found it really funny when actors would come offstage, smoking cigarettes and swearing at each other.
girlfriend long comedian
I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."
film-and-television wanted industry
I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.
roots laughing long
You can maybe be artistic and really original and creative, but as long as it's got that funniness at the root of it, then certain people are going to love it just because they need a laugh.
creative acting want
Eventually, I want to be a creative producer that isn't in things. The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now.
jobs character men
The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now. I will be in it, if I'm the best man for the job, but it really is about creating characters and shows.
couple media pet
I do have a couple of pets, but I am determined to keep them out of the media spotlight.
years careers roles
I had a good theater career for years. I played Hamlet when I was 22, and I've played some really great roles.
numbers actors imagine
I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I'm generally not interested.
acting
I've always been fairly confident in my acting.
