thinking important use
If I'm doing some weird tick with my mouth, or not standing still or something, I'll be the first person to notice it, and then want to change that. I think it's important just to maintain trajectory, to not just use your same tricks over and over.
regret cutting thinking
I regret not dancing more, just cutting loose on the dance floor. I still admire those who don't care much about what others think of them.
character thinking perspective
I'm very interested in starting to produce, and direct, and have an umbrella over an entire project in the future. I'd like to have control over what the characters do. I think as an actor, you get a little too caught up in the moment-to-moment, beat-to-beat stuff to have perspective.
nice thinking animal
I thought the idea of 'Smurfs' lent itself to the 3-D environment pretty well, I think, better than some of the farm animal movies that have been done before. I was a fan of the 'Smurfs' and they come with their own fan base, which I thought was nice.
jobs nice thinking
I was a big fan of how Johnny Carson hosted awards shows. Dick Cavett, as well, I think did a really great job of providing a nice blend of comedy, wit and class.
thinking painful mediocre
I think when dance is mediocre, it's painful. But when dance is really impressive, it destroys.
thinking tvs hours
I love the 'So You Think You Can Dance' show. I love it. I think it's some of the best hours on TV.
thinking skulls producers
I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.
kids thinking want
I don't know, but I think kids just want to be listened to, so I want to make sure I do that.
thinking self long
I remember thinking that the rest of my life would be solo. I wasn't weepy when I thought that - it was just a realization that I had gone this long being self-sufficient.
thinking world-love people
When you call someone and ask them to do something they've never done before, in different mediums I think they would be inclined to pass because they're afraid of the risk. But the creative people who populate the theater world love the challenge of new things.
mistake thinking judging-people
I think it has been a weird mistake to have people with their own music careers going on and judging people because when they're too critical, it affects them. They don't want to be that honest, because they need to keep their appearance up.
mean thinking people
It's really something for people who are approaching 30 to take a look at what that means to them. I think turning 30 is a chance to re-identify with yourself.
new-york thinking years
So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible.
