I tend not to think that way though I wish I could. There are certainly playwrights whose work I would like to have the opportunity to work on, such as O'Neil and Williams and to have the experience of having that repertoire, because I think every actor should have a go at that sort of stuff.
I found to my surprise that the man who was closest to him when he died had been a good friend to me in the last 10 years of his life. Yet after Delmore died, Milton never talked about him.
I was curious about making this movie because the genres are put together, ... I'm attracted to stuff I think is going to be difficult to pull off, and the stuff that I'm a little afraid of.
I don't know if I would call that singing,
If this movie threatens or challenges you, then there's something else you should look at. People are so scared to touch on these issues. The good thing about this movie is that it forces you to do that.
I've never been to Buffalo. And we're having a fantastic time here. I'm a little surprised by the turnout and a little overwhelmed. And thank you all so much. We know that at times it can be inconvenient to have a film crew come into your neighborhood. And we just want to say thank you.

Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.
I don't want to spend my life in my 40s feeling bad about being in my 40s, and then all of a sudden I'm 50, and I will have missed a whole decade!
A magnetic personality doesn't necessarily indicate a good heart.
Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
