character men should-have
Whatever the reasons that I turn things down, I'm always happy when there's a good result, and I can enjoy it as a movie, you know? I don't feel like, 'Oh man, that was really good. I should have done it.' You have to make the decisions you have to make, whether it has to do with your family or repeating a character or whatever it is.
looks ifs
Really if you look at my filmography, there's something for everyone!
country thinking rocks
[Country Music] is the final destination for many punk rockers [...] Rockabilly is the mid-point and then [they] end up at Country [...] There's purity to that music and I think that appeals to a lot of punk rock people - the precision, the purity, and the directness of Country Music.
I've worked with a lot of great directors and often times they solicit your ideas.
teacher jobs thinking
Actually, acting turned out to be the perfect job for me, because I had a lot of different interests. I thought about being a priest at one point. I thought about being a teacher. I thought about being a lawyer. But I think acting is probably the best job for me.
laughing body want
Here's the thing, with comedy - and I learned this from Will Ferrell - you can't be ashamed. If you're doing comedy, you have to fully commit to the joke. Shame is not part of it. If you act shy or uncomfortable about your body, that makes the audience shy and uncomfortable. And in a comedy you just want them to loosen up and laugh.
people challenges able
I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.
I don't know who I am, to tell you the truth.
believe enjoy working-it
I really enjoy my time off. If I'm going to go to work, it has to be something I really believe in, or else it's totally tedious.
good-luck giving turns
I give as much as I can, and it's up to someone else to turn it into a movie. Good luck to you!
play guitar taught
I kinda taught myself how to play guitar, and I still play to this day. It's become a pretty big part of my life.
perspective people kind
I like when people know exactly, have a good sense of themselves, and know exactly what's good for them, I admire that, but I don't have anywhere near that kind of perspective on my own...
names people world
I love that people can't place me. They don't know my name. That's 'mission accomplished' in my world.
acting kind my-favorite
I like being employed, you know. That's my favorite kind of acting.
