people different looks
Just look around, in life, there's people who want to date people who look like themselves, and there are people who are just looking for a good fit. And a lot of times, a good fit is someone different than yourself. I'm not one to get too hung up on outside appearances. I find people attractive for more subtle reasons than just the way they look.
I do a lot of improvising on movies, actually.
fans potters film
I'm a big fan of the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'The Lord of the Rings' films.
love peace water
There is something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on earth but not quite.
ideas people next
A lot of times, good improv is when both people, or however many people are in the scene, really have no idea what the next thing you're going to say is.
people mystery certain
It's a mystery why certain people find certain things funny.
independent mainstream critics
A lot of times, mainstream critics are much tougher on small, independent movies because they can be.
thinking accomplishment done
I think just getting a movie done is an accomplishment in itself.
doors rooms scripts
I end up improvising in almost everything to some degree, 'cause it's often necessary on movies. The script is one thing, and it's this kind of theory of what you're going to do, and then you get there on the day and you realize, "Oh, the script is not appropriate to this room, the door's over here."
men emotional laughing
I love to improvise, but I always thought "Man, it's like the final frontier for improvisational actors, to really go for something emotional, something that's not just chasing the laugh."
stupid comedy committed
If I'm committed to something really stupid, then I'm in a comedy.
jobs laughing way
The way you get through having a shitty job is to laugh a lot and goof around.
confusing fans life-is
Life is often confusing and sad, and I'm a big fan of the slap and the tickle, as they say.
real hook fans
I'm a big fan of not letting the audience of off the hook, as they say. I like it when things feel real, and that's oftentimes not comfortable.
