writing comedy notes
What's the trick to writing a genuinely funny comedy? The trick is therapy. Take notes.
creative decision trying
With more money brings more fear and when you're trying to be creative in a fear-based environment it's dangerous. Then decisions are made out of fear, not what's best for the film.
sweat heartache energy
If I'm going to pour that kind of love and energy and sweat and heartache, all that juju into something, I'm going to lean into my own projects before someone else's.
insecure stopping auditions
I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.
hobbies
You have to keep hobbies in L.A. Otherwise, it's sad.
writing tired mean
I hope, my career is never predictable. And my interests are diverse in that way. I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct. And then when I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig. And I've made it very clear that I'm interested in voiceover work. I mean, I'm always looking for voiceover gigs. I love that.
trying yeah transparency
I'm in full transparency here of "Yeah, I'm trying to find my financing."
jobs years lucky
I feel tremendously lucky that I am offered incredible jobs all the time to direct, but the problem that I have just personally is that there are only so many years in my life to dedicate to certain projects.
steadfast streams right-now
You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make .
voice mouths tongue
You can't live in a dialect without tremendous work. Like any muscle, accents and voices and languages are all formed out of the muscles that we have in our mouths and faces and tongues.
jobs fun thinking
I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.
growing-up land world
Part of what's cool about being an actor or being in this industry, frankly, is to be able to travel to distant lands. That's part of the deal. I always thought when I was growing up, "I wanna be an actor and go see the world.'
secret happy-accidents wonderful
I respect deeply that each project brings its own secret and wonderful gifts and happy accidents.
occupation want priceless
It's priceless what you learn when you actually do. The best education is effectively to be functioning in the occupation that you want to take on.
