kids giving experience
What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give.
hate get-better tape
Very often when I go in to meet for movies or pilots, I'm put on videotape. I hate the notion that that tape is going to sit on a shelf and never get better.
player dvds experience
Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.
years hollywood half
I had a meeting in LA in which they took a really overstuffed hour and a half. It was as close to old Hollywood as I remembered it in the last 20 years.
character thinking way
When something really extreme happens, you have to find a way to embrace that and include it in how you think about the character. Sometimes it's not easy.
funny men years
Very often, I don't make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.
commitment outcomes scheduling
A lot affects the outcome. It boils down to scheduling and the commitment of the network.
teacher school high-school
High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.
character important engagement
It's really important to stay engaged and involved in the character.
disappointment kids surround-sound
Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.
nice hands people
People are nice enough, but you can hear the giant tick of the second hand. People are so harried.
couple play want
There are a couple of roles I haven't played that I want to. I would love to play Shiloh.
inspirational family mean
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.
contradict evolution script
You read each script as you get it and you try not to contradict what you've done before and keep the sense of evolution present.
