dream years play
Playing Sheldon is just heaven for me. I realize how enormously lucky I am to play a role that makes me so incredibly happy. As I told Chuck Lorre in a Christmas card a few years ago, I'm living a version of the dream.
years two bird
I grew up with two different parakeets - one that lived for five years, and one that lived for 13 years - so I always had a bit of an attraction to birds and it's an oddly good fit to be in a movie about birdwatchers.
jobs years roles
It isn't called TV money for nothing. There was a time where I paid my rent by doing theater for years, and I was able to buy groceries and pay my electric bill. I considered myself to be making a living as an actor. This kind of money that we make is a whole other level, of course. But it really is simply the cherry on top of a job and a role that I adore.
struggled
I've been a working actor for many years, but it's not always been successful for me. I certainly struggled in the past.
early human satisfied time work
The whole time I've been an actor, from early in Houston, my goal has been to work - to keep doing it. I feel at my most satisfied as a human being when I'm working on a role.
informs life move shake
The theater I got to do informs every move I make as an actor and will for the rest of my life. I can't shake it if I wanted to, but I don't want to.
control emotional fan jeff management pressure skills tendency
I've been a fan of his management skills for some time. I have a tendency to get a little emotional at times, but Jeff is always under control when the pressure is on.
ballpark everybody suddenly
When suddenly everybody is guessing, or some even getting close, to the ballpark of what you're earning - well, that's interesting, that everyone knows what you make.
amazing listen people speak
You just have to speak up. You just have to say, 'I would like to do this,' and it's amazing what people who listen can do for you.
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.
account answer couple found half horrible patience time tried twitter
I would be horrible at Twitter. I wouldn't know the answer to fans' questions half the time - and the patience involved! I couldn't imagine. I did have a Twitter account that I tried for a couple days, but found I had nothing to say.
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.
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.
