new-york real coffee
In New York, you can bump into someone on the street and go to a thing, go get coffee real quick.
book reading focus
Actually, I'm reading a lot of my scripts. When I'm working on something, it's hard to find time. You're always prepping new material. You don't want to be buried in a book. It splits your focus a little bit.
jeans style
I've always been pretty happy with my style. I've been wearing tapered jeans since 1980 something.
bells bigs craze
In the '90s, there was a big bell-bottom craze. Everyone was wearing grungy bell-bottoms. It was so repugnant to me.
men thinking age
When I was 13, I kind of got into the punk scene. I realized it was easier to wear a pair of combat boots and jeans and a beat-up T-shirt. I think of it as a uniform: Ya know, if you're a Maytag man, you put on your bow tie. I still have T-shirts from when I was that age.
dark night remember
I did Chekhov's Three Sisters once. Two months in, I remember going, "Human beings shouldn't be forced to do or watch this play every night." It's so dark and so bottomless.
thinking grandparent people
When you hear about people in the '50s getting married at 20, you're like, What were they thinking? My grandparents were together for over 50 years.
able television individual
Unless you hit your television with a sledgehammer, you're not going to be able to be an individual.
years tvs seven
If I was roped into a seven-year TV contract I'd probably hang myself.
mean ambition thinking
I didn't have a lot of ambition, which I think was a good thing. I mean, I was ambitious about quality, but I wasn't ambitious in the "I've got to get a pilot!" way. I never went out to L.A. for pilot season.
news television shocked
I've never been shocked by anything on television, except the news.
dream giving why-things-happen
There's a logic to dreams that doesn't necessarily follow linear narrative. You don't know why things happen, it's your subconscious pushing you, to give you information.
winning wife car
It's like, once you've seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you've seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can't fully get really lost in them.
reading mean fans
I mean the good thing about Marvel is that they're really good about reading what they call the shareholders - the fans. Because they really are the keepers of what keeps these movies going, you know?
