way easier i-have-learned
I have learned that keeping my personal life outside of work is the easier, richer way to work.
believe demon possibility
I believe in possibility, but I'm not sure I believe in demons.
winning ideas people
If you can create an environment where people are invited to do their best work and the best ideas always win, then the project itself will win.
dream comedy woody
It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.
eight waiting mind
When I first got to L.A., I was stretching $20 a week, waiting tables, and I did that for about six months. I didn't mind it at all, I was really happy for that experience, but it made me really get aggressive about what I want. I've been doing this since I was eight, and never considered doing anything else, so I really had to kick it into gear.
book home thinking
Sometimes when I pick up a book off the shelf, when I'm buying a new book to read, I'll look at all of them and they all have the exact same words inside, but I'll think that one is meant to go home with me. I'll never pick the first thing off the shelf, I'll always go one behind.
kindness want lists
My laundry list of wants in a partner is basically kindness. I want someone who is kind, and that's kind of where it begins and ends. I'm open to being surprised.
girlfriend fun years
It's fun to branch out a bit. I feel like I've held a lot of tricks up my sleeve for a lot of years, and 'Ex-Girlfriends' is a good way to show another side of me.
running book race
I read Christopher McDougall's book 'Born to Run.' If running were a religion, this would be its bible. I actually scribbled my favorite passages on my arm to read during the race.
running practice race
Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.
sacred actors personal-life
It's sacred for an actor to keep their personal life personal.
journey looks crafts
I love that there's a beginning, middle and end to a film and you can craft what the whole journey is going to look like.
dream new-relationship giving
One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there's a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it - if that makes any sort of sense.
actors lasers my-family
Well, I made an announcement to my family at 8 that I wanted to be an actor, and I focused like a laser beam on it. I never had a fallback plan.
