team school band
There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.
puppets looks clown
I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.
photography block writing
I think a lot of times when people have "creative blocks" and I know my share of friends do as well if they're at just some stuck point. They're not sure what to do with their lives or their writing or their photography or their filmmaking or whatever it is that they're doing. I think the best advice is you have to change your life up completely; to go on a trip, to go spend a year being of service. Be willing to take some major drastic action to get you out of your comfort zone and go inside, not outside.
block believe journey
I think creative blocks come from people's life journeys. If you don't know who you are or what you're about or what you believe in it's really pretty impossible to be creative.
thinking people creeps
I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
character play balls
I found it very easy to transform into creeps and weirdos and losers and goof-balls, and I'm happy to play eccentric kinds of characters, and I have a great affinity for the outsider, but I definitely am about expanding my range as well.
gun
I am all for controlling guns.
character theatre transformation
I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.
dwight painting clown
Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown.
believe way realizing
I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn't conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way.
scotland england canada
Scotland is the Canada of England!
school high-school dork
I was a total dork in high school.
father ask-me asks
Absolutely. I am a father, and I know best. If there's any question, just ask me.
heart thinking hands
I think it needs to be with a heart-based wisdom and this heart-based wisdom needs to go hand in hand with science and with social activism and love for our planet and love for our whole human family that spans the whole globe and this may sound very high and mighty or airy-fairy, but it's going to have to go to that or else we're just all going to destroy each other.
