Whole wheat waffles; and we had hash browns made out of reconstituted potatoes.
I'm hoping to get out of playing evil incarnate people, and hopefully play more people like myself. I hope people see me as likeable.
It is always more difficult to win on the road.
We got away from the things that brought us our early success. The team as a whole had picked up a lot of bad habits over the summer that took us away from team play. And that started to play into what we were doing.
And then I bought my own horse, which I had until it died.
I ride my horses three to four times a week.
But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that's just love and affection- then you're going to go after animals who need you.
I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.
I'm really good with fighting with my feet.
The point of my explanation is I'm very subjective when it comes to describing my characters: they are all a little bit a part of me from the outside in or the inside out - but to put your mind at ease, I built Paul Snider from the outside in.
My first four roles were all nice guys, Raggedy Man being one of them.
What fun that is, doing voices. I would do them every day if they wanted me to. It's so much fun to go to work and not shave and wear your tennis shoes and your gym clothes. As opposed to having to shave, shower, go to the gym, look good, get ready, go to makeup and hair, and all that stuff. I love doing voices. It's just so relaxing.
I'm probably one of my three biggest fans on the planet.
I love working with women - I love women - and we need more women directors. We need more feminine sensibilities in movies.
