amazing listen people speak
You just have to speak up. You just have to say, 'I would like to do this,' and it's amazing what people who listen can do for you.
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.
people takes
All I can do is keep working, keep auditioning, keep talking to people - and whatever it takes to show other colors.
winning two people
You can look at the Emmys two ways in you're nominated. It's either win-win or lose-lose. If things go very well and I win, you still have to get up in front of a group of people and risk having God knows what come out of your mouth. If you won't win, you have to breathe deeply and smile and clap with a camera in your face.
thinking people life-is
I don't think the jet-setting life is really for most people.
nice party people
I have this thing. I've always been uncomfortable going to any party where people don't understand why I'm there. One of the best things about partaking in a show like this is, when I show up to events and parties now, they know me. I don't have to hear, 'Oh, you're an actor? Have I seen you in anything?' anymore. I used to have to start listing things off of my resume'. It's really nice not to have to do that anymore.
people
I'm only human, and therefore, there's a part of me that's waiting for people to say, 'Enough of you!'
ballpark everybody suddenly
When suddenly everybody is guessing, or some even getting close, to the ballpark of what you're earning - well, that's interesting, that everyone knows what you make.
hiatus select
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there's only a select number of projects that I can go in for.
encounters third time
My favorite sci-fi movie of all time is 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'
account answer couple found half horrible patience time tried twitter
I would be horrible at Twitter. I wouldn't know the answer to fans' questions half the time - and the patience involved! I couldn't imagine. I did have a Twitter account that I tried for a couple days, but found I had nothing to say.
aware entire head reminded stage tight time
One of the things I'm always reminded of when I'm back on stage is how much you have to be aware of and in control of. There is no tight shot. There is no 'we're only shoulders-up this time.' No, from the top of your head to your pinky toe, you're telegraphing part of the story the entire time you're up there.
struggled
I've been a working actor for many years, but it's not always been successful for me. I certainly struggled in the past.
informs life move shake
The theater I got to do informs every move I make as an actor and will for the rest of my life. I can't shake it if I wanted to, but I don't want to.
