kids popular
If you want to do something, then you do it. If you don't want to do something, don't just do it because your friends are doing it, or because all the popular kids are doing it.
ask feeling hard involved situation
If your friend's feeling bad, it's hard to know what to do. Do you back away or try to help them? It's a really hard situation that I've been in. You want to support your friend. You want to be there. My advice is, don't get too involved with it, just be by their side. If they need your help, they'll ask for it.
figure
Mitch Hurwitz was like a father figure to me. He was so sweet, and he's just so smart.
couple focus acting
Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.
tv-shows tvs kind
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
love-is people particular
I love being on movie sets. It's a very particular setting. And not all of the time, most of the time, there's always people you don't like, and you have to see them every day.
careers roles
I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
nice home busy
It's nice when you get to leave and travel and be busy and then come home.
character thinking actors
It's weird, not to sound too actor but I think that any time you do a performance, you kind of take a little piece of that character, cause it's a part of you you're using.
actors want
As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.
kids jealous harsh
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
running years long
American shows can go on for 20 years. I respond more to the British format. Three seasons is a long run for them to tell a story.
reading dark musical
I've been reading scripts where they've been doing a lot of singing now, but within the dark, realistic story line. I would love, love, love, love to do that. But not a musical on Broadway, I don't have that kind of energy or stamina.
writing thinking natural
I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.
