across anyone crack figure love nut
If anyone can crack the publicity nut and figure out how to not come across hammy and contrived, I'd love to talk to them.
work
I'm more interested in the quality of the work than its medium.
absolutely bad interview time totally
I'm a bad interview because I want to always feel like I'm being totally honest, but at the same time, I'm absolutely paranoid. That combination results in a lot of spaces.
began consider director encouraged friend good invited joan saw teacher
My first manager, Suzanne DeWalt, saw a play I was in. She was invited by the director Joan Scheckel, who was my first real acting teacher. Joan was also good friends with my friend Susie Landau Finch, who had first encouraged me to consider acting, so that's how I began studying.
drug wish criticism
Criticism is a surreal state, like a good drug gone bad. When it's bad you wish it would stop, and when it's good, you can't get enough.
hate believe character
Brian is an archetypal character, a bit like Don Juan, which is how I play him. He's a blast to play. He believes unapologetically in his freedom. He holds nothing back. Something I'm learning is, you can't hate the character you play. If I think my character is an asshole, that's all that will come across. He is drawn in an extreme way, but that doesn't mean he's not a person.
character like-you ifs
You have to like your character, because if you don't, no one else will either.
character gay want
If someone doesn't want to work with me because I'm playing a gay character, I don't want to work with them. They can fck off.
television interest
My interests are not really with television, per se.
years actors goes-on
After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.
regret apology no-regrets
No apologies, no regrets.
acting trying study
I started studying at 26. Before that, I never thought of acting as something that I would ever try.
leader battle quality
One cannot deny that if a person has the energy to get you interested and excited, then that is half the battle won, like all the great leaders had this quality.
giving advice world
I’ve learned the most from Randy Harrison. Because of his fantastic imaginary world filled with bizarre friends. He is constantly giving us good advice.
