cool death free god human life ok people positive soul talking thinking topics wonder
I really wanted to do something positive on the Internet. I wanted to try to get young people talking about, thinking about, life's big questions-make it cool and OK to wonder about the heart, the soul and free will and God and death and big topics like that, big human topics.
people hollywood not-sure
You meet people in Hollywood that are famous, and you're not sure what they got famous for.
thinking people creeps
I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
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.
dream appreciate people
People are flawed. I like peaking into their flaws. The way to humanize them is not to play them in any general way, but to make them very specific. If you make them specific, they have hopes and dreams and loves and vulnerabilities and quirks and you get to know them and you get to appreciate them.
dark people world
I've been through some very dark times in my life and I've been through those very dark times that's affected my world view, the lens that I see people through, so I can relate to that.
successful views people
Our society is all about focusing on the externals, "These people like me, I'm successful because of these people, they view me as being good" and we need to take that vision and instead of expanding it outwards we need to look inside ourselves.
believe thinking people
I think that charity is a tricky thing, because a lot of times, people equate charity with handouts. I don't believe in handouts.
people heartfelt stories
Some of the most morally conscious, kindest, most compassionate people are in the entertainment industry, people who want to affect the world and make it a better place through telling human, heartfelt stories.
giving laughing people
I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.
inspirational dance people
Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.
uplifting believe people
And I do believe that the way to change a society, to uplift people - not just their spirit, but to uplift their society and economic base - is through education.
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.
