meaningful hollywood
I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
dog cat tragedy
My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life.
done want i-can
I don't want to do something that I've done before; I can't see the point of it.
acting research enjoy
I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.
clothes style trying
I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.
emotional people risk
Nothing can be left until the last minute, so that everyone knows exactly where they are. Everyone is comfortable and everyone feels safe because we want people to be able to keep coming into this show and taking those risks. There are a lot of risks in this show, not just nudity, but emotional risks. We want the best actors to feel comfortable about coming in and exploring this subject matter with us.
issues would-be culture
It has to be absolutely believable. It's also going between images and scenes with nudity and sexuality that would be seen, in conventional terms, as kind of sexually exciting. It's up against things that are much more medical and gynecological, and notoriously we, as a culture and a society, have some issues with that kind of thing.
actors different enjoyable
What's enjoyable for me, as an actor, is to do as many different things as possible.
rebuilding destroyed
Everybodys constantly being destroyed and rebuilding themselves, some more drastically than others.
wall facts entertainment
Everything that happens on Wall Street only fortifies my opinion that there is in fact a more ludicrous industry than the entertainment industry.
couple play trying
It's a little bit odd. The first time you do the play, you kind of throw yourself into it, trying to get the most out of all the individual moments. Then, a few hours later, you're still there, wondering what you could possibly do differently than what you just did a couple hours ago.
creative design fundamentals
Design is the fundamental creative activity with which we direct our lives, and collectively, the earth's transformation from its original, natural state into our human-made world.
dad machines littles
My dad used to say, 'You have to become part of the machine to beat the machine,' and there's some validity in it. But honestly, even when I'm inside the machine, you still see me. I stick out a little bit.
routine metronomes stage
The stage is a routine. It keeps you grounded, like a metronome. I find that soothing.
