You have to keep hobbies in L.A. Otherwise, it's sad.

We know more about the face of the moon than we do about the bottom of the ocean,
responsibility tired acting
When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.
drama school years
I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.
phrases vowels knows
I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .
writing acting lucky
I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct.
morning use paper
I vowed to never use my American accent, and I didn't. Even going to get the paper in the morning to buying milk down at the shop, getting a cab, wherever.
voice mouths tongue
You can't live in a dialect without tremendous work. Like any muscle, accents and voices and languages are all formed out of the muscles that we have in our mouths and faces and tongues.
ideas lucky actors
Something that has always attracted me to even taking on the occupation of actor is the idea that I could be lucky enough to portray different characterizations from different places in the world, whether it's speaking another language or taking on a dialect and building a history from where they were born. I was very attracted to that concept, in becoming an actor.
occupation want priceless
It's priceless what you learn when you actually do. The best education is effectively to be functioning in the occupation that you want to take on.

If I'm going to pour that kind of love and energy and sweat and heartache, all that juju into something, I'm going to lean into my own projects before someone else's.
secret happy-accidents wonderful
I respect deeply that each project brings its own secret and wonderful gifts and happy accidents.
school style different
I've learned from every director I've worked with. Everybody's style is very different, and I always say that being an actor is the best film school that I could ever go to.
jobs fun thinking
I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.
