aware entire head reminded stage tight time
One of the things I'm always reminded of when I'm back on stage is how much you have to be aware of and in control of. There is no tight shot. There is no 'we're only shoulders-up this time.' No, from the top of your head to your pinky toe, you're telegraphing part of the story the entire time you're up there.
hiatus select
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there's only a select number of projects that I can go in for.
encounters third time
My favorite sci-fi movie of all time is 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'
children feeling house open saying shy
I was a very shy child. I remember being in a kindergarten open house with my mother and children saying 'Hi' to me, and I still remember feeling this way - but I don't know why - but I wouldn't even say 'Hi' back. I was that shy.
behind defect disclosure next property says
But that disclosure is only about a defect on the property itself. It says nothing about what's right behind it, what's right next door.
I have never been an activist for anything.
yard york
In L.A., I have more of a yard existence, and so I enjoy walking my two little dogs in New York - one's a Maltese and the other's a Shih Tzu.
came family money simply spoke
I came from a family in Texas who simply never spoke about money.
bad good pilot ugly
I couldn't tell you a good, bad or ugly pilot just from reading it, but I can tell you a character I want to play.
people
I'm only human, and therefore, there's a part of me that's waiting for people to say, 'Enough of you!'
became hospital left legs outside remember runner
I have nothing planned. This comes from the heart. I remember when we left the hospital after he was born. His legs were kicking. He became a runner on his first outside experience.
aspect chance likes until
Being in TV, we get to do it again and again until it's 'right.' There's a part of me that likes the other way, that aspect of theatre where there's no chance to go back.
foolish bigs feels
I feel like the universe is so big it'd be foolish to pull out the "no" for it.
mean guy trying
Realistically, there is a danger, of course, when you're going into someone's living room as the same guy every week. But I don't fear it because, I mean, there's really nothing I can do about it. I can try to combat it through the work, and maybe make sure I don't do Sheldon 2.0 in any other projects. But it's just really hard for me to find any negative side effects from this experience.
