hate lucky i-hate
I hate that word - 'lucky' ...
can-not ridicule objects
You can say no. You can not be the object of ridicule.
fun successful thinking
I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that?
who-i-am enough accepting
I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
character thinking years
Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.
dog hurt cat
I love animals. All animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.
growing-up dark people
Any swagger is just defense. When youre reminded so much of who you are by people - not a fame thing, but with my size, constantly, growing up - you just either curl up in a corner in the dark or you wear it proudly, like armor or something. You can turn it on its head and use it yourself before anybody else gets a chance.
graduation long asking
I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please don't even bother asking. Don't bother telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it.
hard-work guy lucky
Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn.
hate hard-work lucky
I hate that word — 'lucky.' It cheapens a lot of hard work
dog drinking book
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That's about as exciting as my life gets.
jobs character play
I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn't... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.
fun guy sidelines
I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.
people lucky reason
So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
