looks actors scene
Of course, actors look forward to the day when they can do a big courtroom scene.
thinking people actors
Most actors are very deeply passionate about their line of work. I suppose there are probably people who sell insurance policies that are passionate about it, but I'm thinking the ratio is a little higher for actors. But, I may be wrong.
actors television care
Here's the thing about movies, all movies end up on television. That's their life. Whether you like it or not, I don't care how much money you spend on it, or how big or broad the film is, or who the actors are in it, eventually it's all coming out of the box.
stars actors admire
I don't consider a lot of actors that I really admire movie stars.
forward looked marriage parents together
I'm someone who's always looked forward to marriage. My parents being together for so long made marriage that much more important.
brother cool diplomat family father felt moved older parents worked
My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool.
accurately people
We all have our own ideas of who we are that may or may not be justified, and you can really find out a heck of a lot more accurately from the people around an individual.
fun hold hope huge miss movies shot small tiny
'Little Miss Sunshine' snowballed. It was a tiny movie. We shot it in 30 days, and it was really fun to do, but it was one of those small movies that you don't hold out huge hope for.
jobs drama people
Same job, whether it's comedy or drama. Regardless of the weight of the role, I feel like the job is always kind of the same. Who is this person? What's this guy here, and how is he playing with this thing, and what's he trying to say? And what's the volley with all these other people around him?
thinking term-paper training
I was always explaining why my term papers were never on time. I think that's where I got my acting training!
talking corporations bigs
Talking about corporations - they're so big. There's not a person at a corporation.
jobs thinking faces
We all have to lead double lives, not just celebrities. The face we put on publicly with our jobs and certain situations. I think that's part of the human condition.
cities mexico mexico-city
I've always thought Mexico City was incredibly dynamic.
jobs fun thinking
There's times when I'll see a show, or something cooking on TV, and think, 'That can really be fun when it's working.' But it's a grind. I did that at NBC, it was five days a week. I was doing 'Talk Soup' and 'Later' at the same time. It's a hard job, more difficult than people realize.
