television exciting shows
To me, television is one of the most exciting things going on right now, as far as content goes. Some of these shows that are on television are better than any of the movies out there.
people sense-of-humor stakes
People have a sense of humor, even if it's not a good one, and everybody has stakes.
people creative towns
A lot of times in movies, you see the "small town" people, being bowled over by this creative entity or this corporate ideal, and it's not true, at all.
dad my-dad ideals
I've always loved where my dad came from and the ideals that instilled in me.
house parent choices
I have the most incredible parents and they didn't put pressure on me. I grew up in a house and no matter what they thought of things, it was always about my choice.
home guy one-liner
The one-liner of this movie [ The Hollars], you've probably heard before: 'A guy goes home to his family and finds out about himself.
opportunity thinking people
It's a great wake-up call for our entire industry: What movies are we making? What storytellers are we allowing to tell the stories? What people are we allowing to be cast in those stories? I think we need newer stories, and more people given the opportunity to do anything they want.
real bye honor
Being [in] a show that you get to say good-bye instead of being asked to leave is a real honor.
father kids existential
All the cliches are true about parenting. All I've ever wanted to do is be a father, but there's this existential mirror that's held up when you have a kid.
thinking people everyday
I think it's a big chance to take to make a movie that's about as something as pure and honest and something people can relate to everyday.
character honest forget
I forget who said it, but someone said, your job as an actor is to communicate the most honest version of this character, and so the parts of you that you can use are obviously the easiest to access, because you live through them every day.
character
I'm sure there's pieces of me in all the characters I play.
writing people hurtful
For me, anything I do is totally up for conversation and it's not my right to be able to stop a person from writing whatever they want. What's harmful and hurtful is when people speculate.
honest being-honest
Let's be honest, there are a lot of family movies; I like some of them, I don't like other ones.
