pain character motivated
I'm always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny.
character embrace used
Thrilled that Gov. Romney enjoys my old character. I enjoyed the character he used 2 b 2. If he'd embrace that again, he'd b a great candidate.
bad characters people rule
Usually, characters that are doing something nefarious have some extra layers to them. The general rule is bad people don't necessarily think they are bad.
character fill finding fit mandate miracles question shoes tough
The mandate of our show is to find what makes us laugh. We had tough shoes to fill for this role, and finding someone to fit the character of Jeffrey was a challenge, if not a miracle. But when miracles happen, you don't question them.
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.
accepted edwardian gets life sake stepped terrific
The show is like an Edwardian play - emotional life gets stepped on for the sake of accepted manners, and that's terrific for actors to play in.
directing
I still don't know much about directing a movie.
time
Isn't it time you came out and told the world what you believe?
issues third
Issues can be addressed without the interference of a third party.
age sad
I started balding at age 17 and after first being sad, I really embraced it.
Is it my end-all and be-all to become a standup comic? No.
dear near
'Broadway Bound' is near and dear to my heart, as it was one of my happiest times on Broadway.
stories
Every poker player, like every fisherman, needs to have a story in a box, and most poker stories are completely uninteresting.
Directors get to fire on many more cylinders than an actor.
