guy job pleasant
If I don't feel like I'm doing the job well, and I don't know how to get there, or I'm too scared, or whatever, I'm not a happy guy and I'm not pleasant. I'm not pleasant to be around.
spinning-plates air guy
You know the circus performer who spins the plates in the air you know, and he'll spin six or seven plates in the air? Acting sometimes is kind of that guy spinning all those plates in the air but in your head and in your body.
guy other-guys handsome
I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.
vanity guy looks
Vanity is something that will only get in the way of doing your best work, and ultimately if you're truly vain you care more about your work than how you look in your work. I actually consider myself a pretty vain guy when it comes to that.
I don't have a specific thing I want anyone to get out of anything I do.

When people don't know who you are, they're seeing your work for the first time. But if they've seen a lot, getting certain things across is a more difficult.
hard
It's really hard to watch things and then not think about anything afterwards.
hard
It's hard for anybody who works a lot and has children. But I wouldn't trade it for anything.
people
In a film there a lot of people scheduling, you know.
I think part of being an actor is staying private.
brightest dad men
To be fair to my dad, he is one of the brightest men I've ever met.
