came family money simply spoke
I came from a family in Texas who simply never spoke about money.
bad good pilot ugly
I couldn't tell you a good, bad or ugly pilot just from reading it, but I can tell you a character I want to play.
board decision
It's up to the board as to how they use the money. It's not my decision to make.
home love theatre
Theatre was my first love. I can't take the theatre out of me. And I wouldn't want to. To me, it's home.
apartment discount lived snow
Once, I lived in an apartment with a skylight in the bathroom. Every winter, it would snow through the skyline, but we got a discount because of it.
arresting connecting easier front man millions online people screaming standing
It's made it easier to communicate important issues, but I wonder if connecting with millions of people online is ever as arresting to someone's attention as one man standing and screaming in front of City Hall.
audience experience normal reaction
I've done so much theater, and yet I never had an experience like 'The Normal Heart.' We could feel the reaction of the audience every night. It was visceral.
five four schedule tv
The TV schedule is essentially four or five days to get in touch with the story you're doing that week.
people takes
All I can do is keep working, keep auditioning, keep talking to people - and whatever it takes to show other colors.
foolish bigs feels
I feel like the universe is so big it'd be foolish to pull out the "no" for it.
mean guy trying
Realistically, there is a danger, of course, when you're going into someone's living room as the same guy every week. But I don't fear it because, I mean, there's really nothing I can do about it. I can try to combat it through the work, and maybe make sure I don't do Sheldon 2.0 in any other projects. But it's just really hard for me to find any negative side effects from this experience.
dream years play
Playing Sheldon is just heaven for me. I realize how enormously lucky I am to play a role that makes me so incredibly happy. As I told Chuck Lorre in a Christmas card a few years ago, I'm living a version of the dream.
opportunity way helping
What this is about is hopefully an opportunity for me to help pave the way for my future in terms of getting financially choosier. You have to plan the windfall as if it'll be your only one.
dancing car drivers
I've grown out of dancing in my car - is it sad? Or I've just become a better driver!
