fire focus everyday
Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.
careers interesting people
I'm not particularly a career-oriented guy. I'm lucky. I can make really interesting films much of the time with interesting people yet be anonymous, have a private life. But, I'd like to have the choice of the better roles.
stupid mean past
I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that.
stars thinking office
You should learn to be happy with what you have. Besides, the fact that I'm not a huge star has allowed me to pick and choose the roles I want to do, not the ones some person sitting in a studio office thinks I should do.
family joy
The family is where most of our joy comes from.
nice life-is-hard hard-life
Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
fame
Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.
smart stupid mean
I don't care. I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that. Some actors actually think about what they're going to talk about during the interview--they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It's very smart, but it's so planned. I never think to do that.
jobs cities guy
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods. That's why I don't live in Los Angeles. Being physically away from Hollywood probably loses me a few jobs, but the best ones seek me out.
normal persons
I had to bring myself back down to being a normal person again.
worry people trying
I can't control how people are going to react. I try not to worry about what I can't control.
best material offered time work
to work with the best material that is offered to me at a time when I need to work, and with the best people.
almost comedy coming dime episodes flip quite serious straight
It can flip on a dime from being almost farce-like to being quite serious and then back. That's what a lot of us like. I would say it's a comedy more than a drama. But then there are some episodes that are coming up that are straight drama.
wholesome
I think it's a pretty down-the-middle, wholesome show.
