disappear tends
What you find with singers, no matter where they're from, if they have any kind of an accent, the accent tends to disappear when they sing.
rather shows
There is no community service in 'Seinfeld.' But rather than lauding that, I think it shows the insane banality of it.
kid learning motivated overcome school seeing
I can get motivated seeing a kid at my son's school overcome a learning disability.
I have always wanted to play Sweeney in 'Sweeney Todd.'
couple george looked producer roles
I have actually lost a couple of roles - film roles - because a director or producer thought I looked too much like George Costanza, and I could not get out of that box.
I find when somebody says to me, 'I'm going to motivate you,' more often than not, they're not going to get me.
changed changing found history lack looking meaningful outside point quite solutions viable
I found that looking at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from an outside vantage point was actually quite distancing. The history of the conflict, the personalities, the violence, the distrust, and the seeming lack of viable solutions made meaningful involvement feel impossible. What changed that, for me, was changing the vantage point.
action director horror
I'm not a director to make an action or horror film. That's not for me.
ally attacked below bullied closet coming equality group hope
I know what it's like to be in the closet! I know what it's like to be bullied and attacked because someone or some group thought I was different or below them... so, I'm coming out of the closet as an ally of equality for everyone; as an ally to hope.
people
I cannot tell people who are struggling that I come first. I just cannot.
albums lives
Comedy lives on in the web and TV, but nobody's pressing comedy albums anymore.
If I could really move my career much more into predominantly directing, I would jump at that.
broadcast functions merely receive
I do think that the days of gathering around a television set that functions merely as a television set, to receive a live broadcast of some networked programming, those days are probably numbered.
allowed beloved came enjoy episode fact george himself indication met occasion played seemed
I met the real George Steinbrenner on only one occasion when he actually came and played himself on an episode of 'Seinfeld.' He seemed to really enjoy himself. I did not get to know him, but the fact that he allowed himself and his beloved team to be satirized on our show is an indication to me of his true character.
