looks way
I don't like the way I look so I don't like being photographed. I become defensive.
nice thinking london
I don't think I'd live in London unless you paid me. Nine figures would be nice.
play guy acting
I've always turned down stuff where you had to be fat. I may be fat, but that's not why you play a role. If the guy has to be that way, I say get somebody else because I'm not doing any fat acting.
teacher teaching elements
I know I have this kind of teaching element in me, but I don't want to become a 'teacher of theater' because that would formalize something that I'd much rather keep casual.
brain way hated
I've always hated the way I looked, and I've never complained about my brains.
commitment tired sick
It's not that I'm sick of the theater, don't get me wrong. I'm just tired of the commitment.
thinking people fats
I've got this terrible hernia. People think it's a fat gut, but it's not.
dad talking people
When I see David Attenborough talking about how chimps live, big apes, I just remember my dad and the way he'd look at you. He couldn't speak, but everything else about him was, 'This is us, a family.' Relationships are just as intense as they are for people who can speak. Probably more so.
adventure years people
It's been the most astonishing year because I've been having a marvelous adventure, and yet I kind of sympathize with people who have to live in exile, because I've so missed England.
thinking want-something house
Broadway has the most savvy audience anywhere. They see everything and they know their theater. As sophisticated and subtle as you think you can be, the houses you get here will want something finer.
thinking years actors
I've had a year out of work, more, and just toughed it out. There are those who think that all actors are overpaid. I beg to differ.
everybody law maybe page pledge state stop succession
It was a succession of all of these pledge things from around the state that made us stop and say maybe we should try to get everybody on the same page about what the law says.
past people upset
Every time I've talked about my family in the past, people have ended up getting upset. So I said to my friends and family: 'I shan't refer to you at all, and there's nothing for you to get upset about. There's the deal.
