stars space rocks
Being onstage is like being rock star. Whereas if you're doing a movie, it's such a confined space. You know, you do a comedy, it's so hard, too, 'cause with a comedy, there's no vocal reaction, there's no energy that you get back that spurs you on to be funnier because everyone has to be quiet.
falling-in-love memories actors
Being an actor, when you sign onto a project - whether it's good, bad, or indifferent - you kind of fall in love with it. You fall in love with the experience, you fall in love with the memories.
crush hot littles
Charlie Brown's good. I always had a little crush on that Lucy. I thought she was kind of a hot little brunette.
party drinking play
I don't go to parties. I don't go to clubs. My friends and I don't go drinking, we play D&D. I'm still a weird entity in the world.
blue actors world
How much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? Nothing! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.
people hollywood
So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.
people theater term
I learned a lot, in terms of inspiring people. It became very clear to me, very early on, that directing a movie was a lot like being in a theater company.
romantic-love america office
Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.
pay helping
I got into a bad jag of movies that helped pay the rent and I thought would help further me along.
greatness thinking ideas
You can inspire people to give you greatness, or you can micro-manage them into your own one specific kernel of an idea. To me, I think that when you inspire people to give their best, then you're going to get the best result.
drama thinking laughing
I think everyone is given drama, by virtue of the fact that we all have drama in our lives, but not everyone can make people laugh.
television film theater
If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.
dream style want
My tone and my style are reflected in the movies I choose to make. I want to make big movies. My dream is to be Jon Favreau or Ben Affleck.
successful training stage
The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.
