fun nice blue
Starship Troopers was great. It was great fun to work on something with blue screens and big budget special effects. Denise Richards was nice to look at too, of course.
awards meat kind
Thankfully, the meat of the Tony telecast is the performances from the shows, so the awards show kind of creates itself around the season, and then I fill in based on the vibe of the season in general. I'm happy that there'll be so many legitimately good performances on the show.
voice want selfless
The voiceover thing is very selfless. You go in there and they've hired you for your voice, but they know exactly what they want, and the writer's there and he knows exactly how it's supposed to be said. So you can't really argue with them, you just have to let them tell you what to do and then do it.
nice mean guy
Tobey's a mellow, cool guy. He's just a good guy. I know that's not the answer you want, and I don't mean that as the political thing to say, but he's a nice guy.
book needs reason
I often feel like books find us for reasons, and we read them when we need them the most.
play rocks san-diego
It's good to have a lot of once-in-a-lifetimes in your lifetime. If you get the chance to skydive, go skydiving. If you're offered a part in a weird Shakespeare play in San Diego, slap on some tights and rock out some iambic pentameter.
fun age my-favorite
My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun.
heart thinking acting
I think things through a lot, so I probably use my head more than my heart. That probably comes through in my acting.
average play actors
As an actor, you most often play relatively average parts, so to get to play extreme versions of anything, those are the most exciting parts.
moving careers next-move
I like to make decisions based on things I'm interested in doing, not what seems like the next move in my quote-unquote career.
interesting chapters fortunate
I've been very fortunate to go from interesting chapter to interesting chapter.
father guy done
'Smurfs' just seemed like a great way to represent a young father to be, guy in a marriage, work in conflict, and I was really interested in the technical CG side of things. I'd never done a movie that I thought would be so physical and yet so precise. So I was intrigued by all of that.
idols ties judging
If you don't have any ties to the music industry, you just love 'American Idol,' you can sit there and do exactly what you do in your living room, which is stare at them and judge them.
involved
What defines a relationship is the work that's involved to maintain it, and it's constantly changing.
