stars character world
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
crazy character love-is
I love being an actor, and I don't want to be a spokesman for anything, I don't want to do anything crazy or fancy like that. I just love playing characters and getting paid for it, and that's what I want to do till the day I die.
character play balls
I found it very easy to transform into creeps and weirdos and losers and goof-balls, and I'm happy to play eccentric kinds of characters, and I have a great affinity for the outsider, but I definitely am about expanding my range as well.
character theatre transformation
I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.
character thinking people
I think that doing comedy and playing Dwight is a service. Not to get grandiose about it, but I have a talent for playing oddball characters and I can make people laugh and that can help bring families together and people will really enjoy it and it puts a smile on their face and I think that is a really great thing.
character misfits rough
I like playing misfits, I like playing oddballs, I like playing characters with rough edges.
character tv-shows actors
The Baha'i celebrity, or the Belebrity, is a character actor with a big head playing an annoying creep on a TV show.
writing character creating
You have total control of it, and when you're an actor, you're subject to production design and costumes and directors and studio choices and producer choices, but when you're writing it, you're creating your own little world in your head, peopled with your little characters. No one is in there monkeying with it, at least not at first - though they will. With this and the other projects I'm working on, it'll have to be given away, and it'll have to be someone else's property.
Pretty much anybody who's ever worked can relate to our show.
life religion
So much about religion has to do with rigid, sacrosanct preciousness. I don't live my life that way, and I don't feel that's what Baha'u'llah teaches.
brain morning pinball
My brain is so anxiety-prone, like a pinball machine. If I don't get up in the morning and focus my thinking, my breathing, and my being for about 12 minutes, I'm just a screwball all day long.
dad founder knew learned mona perfect realized schools sponsors
The founder of the Mona Foundation actually knew my dad for years, and the more I learned about it, the more I realized I really found the perfect charity. It sponsors schools and educational initiatives all over the planet.
household
The bonds we create in the household are the most important and lasting. Savor them; they're sacred.
Ralph Waldo Emerson would definitely be my homeboy.
