became clicked conversation creative edward everybody favorite good movies room talking terms
We had this conversation, and everybody in the room just disappeared. We were talking about our favorite old movies and all were the same ones. We just clicked in terms of our creative ideas. Edward and I really became good friends.
ethic given happen happens kids money peers people rich seen strange work
That's what I find is just the work ethic of some of my peers I've noticed, and it has to do with how they were raised. And I didn't come from a lot of money either, so I never had any kind of strange thing that can happen with rich kids where they're not always given discipline. Not always, but I've seen that sometimes. But it happens with people with no money too, so. . . .
Like, to do a pilot, you don't know what's going to happen with it.
It proved to me, though, that comedy is so much harder.
dancer films music performed
No. It's on films I've done and such. And I was a dancer and I performed music videos. It's just, I've been around.
crack feeling home playing remember
It was the most pleasurable thing I've ever done, playing this character, and I just remember feeling so at home and so - I don't know, I was just happy - and it just wasn't ever work! It was like a sandbox for me, and I would crack myself up rehearsing.
nominated
It's a cliche, but just being nominated is cool.
fulfilling picked pilot wonderful
I picked them because the pilot was just a no-brainer because it was so fulfilling and wonderful and awesome; that's the show that got it started.
mean pokemon if-you-love-me
Sting! I mean, come on - whoe doesn't love Sting? Even if you love Megadeath, you have respect for Sting. If you love Pokemon, you'll find out who Sting is someday.
drama believe may
In comedy, something may be more absurd, but you have to believe just as much as you do when you're doing drama.
stars reality understanding
I can't say I can foresee the future and tell the stars, you know. But I do have an understanding for my own reality, just elements and things that I've learned from.
character thinking acting
Yeah, I think the common denominator - and this is probably going to sound like Acting 101 - but the common denominator is belief in the character in the moment.
laughing people challenges
Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that's definitely a challenge.
character people generations
And I'm so excited to remind people and even gain new fans who find out about Dharma - a new generation who could find out about Dharma and enjoy her and all the characters on the show.
