journey intellectual
I like intellectual journeys.
spring fall feelings
I love feeling the crispness of fall and the sensuality of spring.
summer focus stronger
I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies.
mother jobs journey
I had no expectations about fatherhood, really, but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one, it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job, she wasn't kidding.
mother children dad
My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day.
hate guy trying
Hate is a draining bottomless pit from whence nothing good or of any value can come. Try to eat a balanced diet. Guys only want one thing.
years firsts strikes
How that works is our first season was the year we had a threatened writers' strike, so what we did was that instead of doing 22 episodes, we did 30. We put 10 in the bank.
funny war thinking
I think Chris Rock at the Oscars was a great example. I thought that was intellectually hilarious. The Gap starts a war with Banana Republic... That to me was funny.
men defense fit
In my own defense, I wrote a one-man show, and that to me was more where I fit.
new-york two series
Whoever envisions not one but two series in New York?
mean addiction important
I really love to act; I love everything about it. I've never had this addiction to being known. I mean, sure, if you go into acting, there's part of you that is saying, 'I want attention' but I was brought up to work to deserve attention, and it is the work, not the trappings that are important
cutting catholic guilt
It's great to be recognized when I'm looking for a table at a crowded restaurant, but I still don't put it to best use. I'm such a lump. I won't cut the line. It's my Catholic guilt. I gotta get used to it
morning jobs hate
Look, I hate to sound like Pollyanna, but I literally can't wait to get to work in the morning. I've got steady jobs, I've got my health, and I'm here in the greatest city in the world. I'd be a pig not to be grateful
player different way
I'm always learning from experiences because each one is different and there are different players involved in the project at the time with their own way of doing things
