long waiting focus
It seems like movies normally take a long time to get made. When you focus on it, and you're waiting for something, it seems to take longer.
want way directors
If you're working with a director you trust, you can turn that part of you off that wants to direct other actors in a certain way.

I spend most of my time catching up on classic comedy - things you absolutely have to see.

My father works for Xerox and fixes those gigantic copy machines that are about 10 feet wide.

My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer.

I just want to be really careful with decisions I make. When you make a decision about your career, it changes your life in a really big way.

I don't have hate in my heart. I don't hate any person, place or thing...but I hate the Yankees.

The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.

Well, the clown suit is a riot, too.

A brick layer, lays bricks... I'm an Actor, that's what I do.

I've been a musician my whole life. I'm really enjoying making music again.
