inaccurate mean screen stories talk telling
It's inaccurate to talk about J.J. being a first-time anything. Just because he's telling stories on the little screen doesn't mean he shouldn't be telling stories on the big screen.
hugging
We were hugging each other like we always do.
fun kids important
The thing with kids is that you only get one chance to do it right. It's really important to share their gifts while they're discovering them. That's why spelling bees are such a compelling story. They stimulate them intellectually, they awaken their competitive spirit, but it's fun. There's something fun about words.
television actors mediums
I wouldn't say that going into a weekly television series is actually stepping away from anything. It's another medium in which to work as an actor.
truth party character
We know that passion, prejudice, party, and even good-will, tempt many who preserve a fair character with the world to deviate from truth in the laxity of conversation.
kids ethos people
I came up around people who took acting seriously, who cared about acting, cared about the theater and, in the '70s, made movies that said something that mattered. I came up with those people, and I was a kid. Their ethos and credo became mine.
mentor working-life mines
Mine were informal mentors. They were all in my working life.
children voice use
I have a voice. It's one of my gifts. I intend to use it on behalf of the children that UNICEF seeks to aid.
