europe guy waiting
I do voiceovers, but being on-camera and selling something? I wasn't really interested. And then I thought, well, wait a minute. Everybody's selling something. When you turn on the tube... And then if you go to Europe or Asia, everyone is selling something. All the guys that don't want to be seen selling something here are selling something there. So I thought what the hell?
worry guy fronts
I don't have to worry about how my movies sell because I'm not the guy in front.
over-you get-over-yourself good-things
The good thing about directing yourself is that you get over yourself.
fighting needs
You have to fight for what you need to fight for.
fall character play
Characters can become boring. That's what's tricky about television. It goes on and on - you're playing this same character for five seasons and it gets easy to fall into just walking on the set and assuming you know how to play a scene.
limos lost used
I was a horrible limo driver: I ran out of gas with passengers in the back and I used to get lost on a regular basis.
trying television scene
I like to try the scene over and over, but given the confines of television, I don't have that option.
heart kids eye
I'm a little kid at heart, so my eyes light up when everything is lit.
airplane want done
And I don't want to jump out of an airplane - I've done that.
hair fake looks
I've dyed my hair a million times and it looks terrible, always. It just looks fake. And it doesn't make me look that much younger.
fashion crazy proud
I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things.
wise average risk
Let's face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk.
son wife needs
My wife tells me I need to learn to be more patient with my son.
beautiful mistake self-esteem
If [being confident stems from] a self-esteem issue, it's important to embrace the things you might define as so-called imperfections - because something that you might call an imperfection, someone else might find so amazing and so beautiful. It's all in how you embrace yourself, your faults, and your mistakes in life. There's no better way to learn and become a better person than to go through those moments.
