constantly funny stopping
It's interesting - I always thought when I was doing more melodramatic stuff like 'Everwood' that the directors were constantly reeling me in and stopping me from being funny.
game guys state sticking
We've got a lot of young ones, but we've got a lot of guys that have state championship experience. We're still doing too much individually and not sticking to the game plan.
became bought discovered guess lottery plane ticket
A friend bought me a plane ticket to Hawaii, which is where I got discovered and became an actor, so I guess a friend bought me a winning lottery ticket.
falling growing played
I was an athlete growing up. I was a wrestler, I played football, so I can take a fall. I actually wanted to be a stuntman when I was kid, so I would practice falling down the stairs. It's just something I like to do.
control exceeded learning second shooting
I think they exceeded my expectations and their own. They're still learning what it's like to play high-school ball. But we're shooting for state. We're in second place right now, and we control our own destiny.
world way months
With moviemaking, you can be halfway around the world for six months. So there are amazing benefits to doing TV, and with the platform change and the way it is, I would never ever rule out doing TV.
nice intelligent who-we-are
It's really nice to have someone who's intelligent and articulate to talk to about what you're doing, because it's a big part of who we are.
sweet stars mean
One thing I've found that's really helpful in our relationship is that she's [Anna Faris] very normal. And I don't mean ordinary - I mean, she doesn't act like a big star or a comic icon or anything like that. She's really down-to-earth and sweet, and we do talk about comedy, about movies, about our careers and possible projects.
laughing track moments
You can't have a laugh track that sort of tells the audience when to laugh and, you know, it's difficult to find those moments.
mother character unique
I know that me personally I'm different than anyone else, just like our mothers all tell us we're all very special and unique and we are, and I think if an actor can stick to trying to make the character resemble something from their own spirit it will automatically be unique.
attitude challenges trying
The challenge is not finding the attitude, but it's really just being open and willing to go for it and try different things, and having a director that you can trust. The attitude is not something that I intended or created.
two white perfect
Perfect sandwich? Two slices of white bread, mustard, mayo and a platinum American Express card.
character people stories
In TV, you can really get into not only great characters, but also the relationships. There are all of the backstories and all of the relationships that you have with every person in your life, and the relationships those people have with each other. It's just more dense and there's more time to tell stories.
adventure two three
Film is cool because it's an hour and a half to two hours. It's a great ride. It's typically three acts - beginning, middle and end. It's going on an adventure and by the end it's all cleaned up.
