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.
action director horror
I'm not a director to make an action or horror film. That's not for me.
constantly entertainment
The necessity for 'professionals' in the entertainment industry is being constantly challenged.
kept tunes
I kept being asked by corporations to do corporate gigs. And I said, 'I don't have anything. I'm not a stand-up. You want me to come sing show tunes for you? I don't think so.'
I'm actually one of the more reluctant celebrities you will ever meet.
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.
life
I have no illusions about having another 'Seinfeld' in my life.

I've gotten a lot of compliments on the 'Criminal Minds' guy. I guess it's because the look of that character is so different from what people expect of me.
almost audience cast constantly difficult east good middle running seems situations stage
The Middle East is a very difficult stage to play upon. Without doubt, it is a good drama. And on occasion, there are situations so unimaginable, if not ludicrous, as to make them almost comic. But the cast is constantly changing, the audience is often disengaged, and it seems at times that no one is actually running the show.
audience bad cameras hold perform performance role stage tend terrible translate
The world of the stage and the performance on the stage usually does not tend to translate very well - it doesn't tend to hold very well - once cameras are on it; it's not like it's terrible or embarrassing or bad anything, but, I, as an actor, would perform a role differently for an audience than I would for just cameras.
daughters defined doctors farmers fathers global hear israelis neighbors sons
We see and hear about Israelis and Palestinians only when they are defined by the global media as 'occupiers,' 'terrorists,' and 'victims.' But we forget that they are fathers and mothers and sons and daughters and neighbors and doctors and shop-owners and farmers and students.
guy
What is it about Iowa? I'm the shortest guy in the state.
people
Do people absolutely need the arts to get by day-to-day? You can make that claim, but they also really need a lot of things before that.
dear near
'Broadway Bound' is near and dear to my heart, as it was one of my happiest times on Broadway.
