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!
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.
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.
moving thinking parent
I was 12 when my parents told me we were moving to Lebanon. I remember thinking, 'Leba-who?' I had absolutely no concept of the place.
character thinking elements
The tragic element of a character is always intriguing I think.
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.
thinking looks soup
Sometimes I look back and think, 'Good. I'd love to go in and bang out a good episode of 'Talk Soup' today.'
thinking people way
There's no harmony in most people in a way, and I'm attracted to it, and I think it makes for good storytelling.
thinking skills careers
I don't think there's any connection between my journalism career and my film career. They are two totally different mediums and very different skills.
thinking car people
The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.
thinking cities people
When I look back on my childhood, I think of that short time in Beirut. I know that seeing the city collapse around me forced me to grasp something many people miss: the fragility of peace.
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.
