Pretty good. Pretttttttty, pretttttttttty, pretttttty good.
encounters nightmare problem
You can't do anything in life. The social barriers in life are so intense and horrific that every encounter is just fraught with so many problems and dread. Every social situation is a potential nightmare.
lines lasts likes
Woody Allen likes to do a lot of master shots. He likes to get the whole thing in one take, and so you could be going along doing a scene, and then the next to last line, all of a sudden, you stumble, and you have to go back to first base.
army years class
In those days, reserve duty lasted for six years, which, I might add, was three times as long as service in the regular army, although to be perfectly honest, I was unable to fulfill my entire obligation because I was taking acting classes and they said I could skip my last year.
writing eight actors
I don't write shows with dialogue where actors have to memorize dialogue. I write the scenes where we know everything that's going to happen. There's an outline of about seven or eight pages, and then we improvise it.
mother places-to-go needs
A place to go - that's what my mother always instilled in me. You need a place to go. And you're worthless unless you have a place to go.
thinking comedy
I think that for the most part, when I started doing comedy, it had become very commercialized.
lawyer
I got a Swede lawyer?!? She's gonna get everything!
talking people problem
I don't like talking to people I KNOW, but strangers, I have no problem with.
love country freedom
Do not degrade me in the military uniform I wear for it represents the love I have for my country, and the sacrifices myself and millions of other American soldiers make everyday to protect the freedom we enjoy by living in the United States of America.
contact humans
I find human contact repulsive.
people
Anything that's for free, people will take. They don't discriminate.
affectionate happens
It's not every day that you get to be affectionate around something, it just doesn't happen that often.
firsts
I'd like to start a family, but you have to have a date first.
