age came hugely running town
When I was a kid, I was hugely impacted by 'Jurassic Park.' I think I was just the right age when that movie came out, and I remember running around my town like a Velociraptor.
form
I think theater communities in cities can form really strong foundations.
art extent fan form growing huge knowledge loved muppet puppet
I was a huge Muppet fan growing up, but that was the extent of my puppet knowledge. I really loved the art form and the whole Henson universe.
dreamed huge saw waited
I was a huge fan of 'Avenue Q' long before I ever dreamed of being a part of it. I saw it off-Broadway at the Vineyard and waited at the stage door for autographs!
cool neat saw school
I saw 'Cats' on a school trip. I thought it was neat and a little weird. The set was cool.
changing chaplin characters lose pixar similar stories
I would say that Pixar is doing for animation what Chaplin did for film, infusing it with heart and characters that you care about and stories that you lose yourself in. They are similar revolutionaries and changing a medium.
people
I think it's ridiculous when people say, 'I don't date actors.' It's about the right person, and no matter what that right person does for a profession, they're still going to be the right person.
itself lends
I was a bit of a goofball. I was always silly. I think that lends itself to being an actor.
I get teased a lot for my optimism.
calling fast goes grandpa kid man patience screaming start walking
My wife makes fun of me by calling me a grandpa because I have very little patience for inconsiderate children. So if we're walking in the mall, and some kid goes by really fast on a skateboard, I become the grumpiest eighty-five-year-old man in the world and start screaming at them.
theater wife
I live in Philadelphia, and my wife and I do a lot of theater out in the Philadelphia community.
fell funniest love seen time
I had seen 'Avenue Q' off-Broadway back in 2003 and fell in love with it. I just thought it was the smartest, funniest thing I'd seen in a long time.
annoying customers dreamed musical recipes turn wise wrote
I never dreamed that the little ditties I wrote about annoying customers or bagel recipes would turn into a full-length musical comedy. But a very wise person told me to 'write what you know'. So I did.
admired performers realized stopped until work
I didn't start to work until I realized what it was I had to offer. I stopped imitating performers I admired and started just being myself.
