school intelligent thinking
I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school, and then I forgot about it completely. And then at about 25 I went to a class. I don't think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice. I don't think anybody thought I'd succeed, which is understandable. I think they were just happy that I was doing something.
thinking ghouls vampire
You know, all writers are vampires and they'll look around and they watch you when you're not even thinking they're watching you and they'll slip stuff in.
vampire bedtime
All writers are vampires.
pants pretending grows
Putting somebody else's pants on and pretending to be somebody else is occasionally, as you grow older, horrifying.
character actors said
Actors will say, 'My character wouldn't say that.' Who said it was your character?
character men play
I lost 30 pounds to play my character in 'The Mexican', but people don't take to skinny mafia men, and I don't feel right when I'm thin.
mother stupid journey
This is gonna sound stupid, but I saw at one point that our mothers are ... bus drivers. No, they are the bus. See, they're the vehicle that gets us here. They drop us off and go on their way. They continue on their journey. And the problem is that we keep tryin' to get back on the bus, instead of just lettin' it go.
new-york relax hard
I find it hard to relax. I live in New York.
want privilege
I want nothing to do with privilege.
jobs party school
Work-do plays, learn your craft, and go to school. Keep working. Nobody is going to give you jobs for going to parties or any of that nonsense. Go out, look around, do things.
actors
I've never worked with an actor that I did not like.
smart writing thinking
I just think its the changes that age brings. You slow down a little bit ... the writers are smart enough to write all those changes that life gives you.
cameras wells props
I like the prop food so much that I eat it between takes as well as on camera,
school kids pounds
I was voted best-looking kid in high school but, as you can see, things changed. I used to say I was a 260 pound Woody Allen. You can make that 295 pound now.
