choices chef my-favorite
Chef's choice is my favorite. I'm super adventurous.
eye ribs fantastic
I always thought filet mignon was the steak to beat, but the fat content in a rib eye is fantastic.
independent two littles
I feel like with actors wanting to direct, you really only have a shot or two. You can't just make a bunch of little independent movies, and then finally one gets noticed. You have to make a really good one right away.
kids thinking want
I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.
feels knows
I feel like I know where I'm going. And I like where I'm going.
interviews be-careful careful
You have to be careful when you're doing an interview.
thinking skulls producers
I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.
opportunity world puppets
I collect puppet stuff. I have a puppet workshop in my garage. I was looking for any opportunity to be able to get very creatively involved in that world.
song interesting firsts
I loved Rent when I first heard it, but it grew on me and so did Tick, Tick... Boom. Some songs are more interesting than others and sometimes the ones that never stood out at first end up being the best to perform.
nice thinking animal
I thought the idea of 'Smurfs' lent itself to the 3-D environment pretty well, I think, better than some of the farm animal movies that have been done before. I was a fan of the 'Smurfs' and they come with their own fan base, which I thought was nice.
jobs nice thinking
I was a big fan of how Johnny Carson hosted awards shows. Dick Cavett, as well, I think did a really great job of providing a nice blend of comedy, wit and class.
pride hype suffering
I sort of pride myself in my dissatisfaction with my work. I've always been concerned with buying the hype, and having that make your performances suffer.
idols ties judging
If you don't have any ties to the music industry, you just love 'American Idol,' you can sit there and do exactly what you do in your living room, which is stare at them and judge them.
father guy done
'Smurfs' just seemed like a great way to represent a young father to be, guy in a marriage, work in conflict, and I was really interested in the technical CG side of things. I'd never done a movie that I thought would be so physical and yet so precise. So I was intrigued by all of that.
