fun opportunity love-is
Acting is always more fun for me.I love being a part of a story, I love collaborating, I love working with different directors. If I just directed more and more, it would lessen the opportunity to work with all these big directors that I've had the opportunity to work with.
opportunity thinking people
It's a great wake-up call for our entire industry: What movies are we making? What storytellers are we allowing to tell the stories? What people are we allowing to be cast in those stories? I think we need newer stories, and more people given the opportunity to do anything they want.
complex looking
I'm not looking to do 'Half Nelson' next, but to play anything that's a little more complex is really fun.
allow best learned major rehearsal scene whether work
I learned that the best way to work is to allow the scene to live on its own before making major adjustments, whether in rehearsal or on film.
beginnings brown taken
I had never taken acting at Brown to be the beginnings of a career. I always did it just for fun.
guy sort
I'm that sort of weird guy who will watch a movie almost every day if I can.
ease feeling grunt love pick
I love feeling strong. You pick up your daughter with ease while everyone else makes a little grunt when they pick up their kids.
category fallen love shows
I've fallen in love with shows like 'Homeland' and 'The Wire.' And I think 'The Office' is in a category like that.
guy shows
No matter what a guy says, if he shows up at all the places you're at, he's hooked.
definitely high history particular shot whether
It's definitely particular to each situation, but whether it is a long history or someone that you're intimidated by or someone that you didn't think you ever had a shot at, at the end of the day, I think we're all living through high school, every day.
hope
You can never perfect a relationship, and you can never perfect yourself to be in a relationship. You're always going to be changing, and you hope it's for the better.
dig
Bizarrely, on movie sets, they don't really dig it when you look in the camera, which is a bizarre fact.
carving experience great responsibility terrifying
Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.
both characters deal sees themselves
To me, it seems like both 'Brief Interviews' and 'The Office' deal with characters that see themselves differently than the world sees them.
