affect allow hot issue military ruling
It's a hot issue nationally. We allow military recruiters on campus, so the ruling does not affect us.
hit run
It was a hit and run - boom,
defense expected played ton
Our defense played great, just like we expected. Offensively we did just what I expected as well. We made a ton of mistakes, but we did what we had to.
daily great relief talked tough wearing
It?s been very tough on her father, my brother, Jim. I talked to him daily or every other day. You could hear, over time, it?s wearing on him. So it?s a great relief for him.
cards community deal detroit fold free knight meaning papers press pride seems shuffle viewed worked
I worked for Knight Ridder for 18 years and I know the Detroit Free Press was part of the company's pride back in the old days. Now it seems, viewed from the outside, that these papers are like cards in a deck: you shuffle them, you deal them, you fold them, and the meaning of them as an institution in the community seems to have been lost.
movies walked
I don't go to horror movies. I walked out of 'The Exorcist,' man.
actions evil human insofar stop
Evil is important for us to look at, in my opinion, only insofar as it makes us look at our own actions and make us wonder, 'Am I participating in some kind of human evil that I really should stop doing?'
turnaround
'Fargo' was the turnaround for me, in terms of film, because it was a part; it wasn't a line.
afraid capable darkness fear glad hope horror people
The fear that you come to a show called 'American Horror Story' with is yours. That being said, I'm glad people are afraid, and I hope that I'm contributing to their fear. I'm really not afraid of my own darkness anymore. I'm not afraid of what I'm capable of.
grotesque movies slasher
Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.
fame famous people
Is fame without purpose and is fame without talent really where we are now? People used to be famous for what they did. Now, they're just famous.
key
Breathing is always key in any character. When you have a character with no voice, that makes it even more important.
afraid fall fear jump keys pocket subway walk
My crazy fear is I'm always afraid my keys are going to fall down a subway grate when I walk over it. I'm afraid they're going to jump out of my pocket and fall down. Isn't that stupid?
given horrific human ourselves
As an actor, I've given up judgement of evil, as long as it's human evil - we have to see ourselves for what we really are, and we're capable of horrific things.
