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.
appreciate generations want
I want to be able to infuse some youthful energy and comedy while appreciating the generations before.
thinking careers want
Thankfully I've been quite lucky in my career, but it's always good to re-evaluate things and think about what else you want to do.
thinking assassins want
We're in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn't want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics, versus on its own merits. I can respect that.
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.
want labels actors
As actors you don't want to have one label. You'd rather have seven.
hate looks want
I don't want to have to inadvertently find a gift and go like, "What the hell is - - oh no, that's for me." And then have to pretend like I'm surprised later. I won't look. If I know where they're hidden, I will not look. I love presents and I hate faking surprises.
simplicity musical emotion
I love the American musical for the simplicity of emotion that gets expressed.
past worry important
As I learned from chapters past, it's important to try and stay in the chapter that you're in, and enjoy it while it's lasting. Not be constantly worrying about where this step will take you - living in the potential future. Like a good meal. Like a good chef's tasting meal. You don't want to wonder what's next while you're eating the foie gras.
hours knock rushed school tutor whenever
Whenever I wasn't in school with a tutor three hours a day, I'd get a knock and be rushed to set and they'd be waiting and I'd film my thing and then I'd go back to school again.
averages happen maybe performers success
There is just a lot of creativity and theatricality in performers who happen to be gay. Maybe there's a success in numbers, so by the law of averages we are going to get these jobs.
cool fan since talked
Mmmmmmmm. Anderson. He's dreamy. Just dreamy. I've been a fan of his since season 1 of 'The Mole.' I just thought he was so cool when he talked in this cool, low, secret-agent voice.
figure standards
You figure out what your standards are, and I think that's important.
experience family good kids led life met single solitary
I always thought I'd make a good parent, but I was single and led a solitary life for many, many years. Then I met David, and he had experience with kids and wanted to have a family, too.
