incredibly looks notice people work
It looks like I've been smart about it, but truly, I've been incredibly lucky to have the right people notice me and want to work with me.
people
Sadly, I'm one of those people who emotionally puts things off and then gets caught very blindsided at the end.
biggest knew people pretend surrounded talented
Probably the biggest challenge for me as a director was to not show how scared I was. I was surrounded by some of the most talented people in the industry, and I had to pretend I knew what I was doing.
average british elements obviously people realistic relive trials work
The way the British 'Office' got away with being so dark was that it only had 13 episodes. There are realistic elements that people obviously enjoy, but they don't necessarily want to relive the trials and tribulations of their average work day.
hard people throwing
People aren't throwing themselves at me, but I also don't go out very much. Like, when I do go out, it's for breakfast, so it's a little hard to throw yourself at me during breakfast.
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.
huge life mistakes small
I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. And I'm really sensitive, so I take even small mistakes as huge ones.
analogy buy deserve enjoy funny hollywood shake snow time
It's funny: I've always had the analogy of a snow globe, that Hollywood is a snow globe. No, it's true. If you shake it up, you can look at it and really enjoy it. But don't ever go in. Don't ever buy into it and be like, 'I deserve all of this!' because it can go away at any time, so just have a lot of fun.
carving experience great responsibility terrifying
Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.
flawless incredibly recent
For me, 'Arrested Development' is the cornerstone of recent television comedy. It's so incredibly flawless and perfect.
formed incredible wives
My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.
credit dreams far head life moments
I credit NTI, truthfully, with everything as far as where my head is and what my goals are and dreams are. I would say it was probably one of the most influential moments of my life, being there.
huge indie kids
I was one of those kids who had never seen an indie film before I got to college. If it wasn't a big, huge tentpole movie, or if it wasn't on the radio, I hadn't experienced it.
beginnings brown taken
I had never taken acting at Brown to be the beginnings of a career. I always did it just for fun.
