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.
thinking enjoy-life simplicity
My motto is that I enjoy life. I think there's a kind of simplicity to that way of thinking.
thinking television able
I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved, and you can have great marriages, and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television.
pain thinking needs
Especially while television I think is going through some growing pains or is in need of - I think current comedy is a bit, uh, not happening, you know?
inspiring character thinking
And as a character, what I found very inspiring about playing Dharma, especially at that time, is that the women on television were more neurotic than they were free. And I thought, this is a rare bird and this is unique on television and I think it's really refreshing.
thinking space people
I just think that it's such a good show and timeless and still very funny, and that just makes me happy to have that whole first season in one concentrated space for people to enjoy so that it's not hit and miss trying to find it in syndication always.
fun thinking giving
I just think it's fun to remind people that good television has exited and it can exist again and just to give them pleasure and enjoy it and make them laugh.
men thinking television
There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.
philosophy believe thinking
In other philosophies, my questions would get answered to some degree, but then I would have a follow-up question and there would be no answer. The logic would dead-end. In Scientology you can find answers for anything you could ever think to ask. These are not pushed off on you as, 'This is the answer, you have to believe in it.' In Scientology you discover for yourself what is true for you.
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.
