listening theatre losing
I don't know, on a sitcom, and in theatre especially, you have to really be listening to an audience. And if you're losing them, you can hear the sniffs, and the playbills shuffling and whatnot.
fun nice blue
Starship Troopers was great. It was great fun to work on something with blue screens and big budget special effects. Denise Richards was nice to look at too, of course.
balls pressure walks
I'm having a ball. I just walk in, make some funnies and walk out, no pressure.
opportunity artist years
The Tonys are the once-a-year shot for all of these shows and artists who work so diligently every single performance but only for a thousand or so people at a time. This gives them the opportunity to perform to millions of people.
fun nice average
I enjoy darker sardonic wit more than knock-knock jokes. I spent the first healthy chunk of my career playing all-American, pleasant, average, nice people, so it's fun to have some complications there.
oscars audience
Oh sure, now you like him [after the audience applaud David Oyelowo].
lovely spoons oscars
This next presenter is so lovely you could eat her up with a spoon
fun games guy
I'm a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare's prose.
night progress marriage-equality
It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!
parent albuquerque restaurants
My parents own a restaurant in Albuquerque.
dream nice guy
I would not dream of taking on Tobey Maguire. Plus, he's a talented and nice guy, and I have nothing but nice things to say about him.
nice lucky actors
It's nice to establish yourself as an actor first and a singer second. Proof is such a tremendous piece of work, and I'm incredibly lucky to be a part of it. I'm sure that the musicals will happen in the future, though.
double easier maybe others pause physical possible reaction spit stuff technical whether works
Whether it's a double take or a spit take or an extra-long pause before a reaction or a line, I try to be as cognizant as possible about the technical end of it. So I think the physical stuff works easier for me than maybe for others who are more just going on instinct.
experience family good kids led life met single solitary
I always thought I'd make a good parent, but I was single and led a solitary life for many, many years. Then I met David, and he had experience with kids and wanted to have a family, too.
