thinking people west-coast
No, I don't think about the myth of the West. It's not the kind of thinking I do. That's more suited to people who live in big towns on the West Coast or East Coast, people who stay under a roof, in a room, all the time.
thinking too-much stereotype
I think any stereotyping is too much.
past thinking ideas
My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative.
stupid thinking way
Ethnic stereotypes are boring and stressful and sometimes criminal. It's just not a good way to think. It's non-thinking. It's stupid and destructive.
drama thinking matter
I think that no matter how much you don't like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it.
You know, I don't really think you have to play nice guys.
struggling
It's no fun to be a struggling young actor. It's a desperate thing, no way to be happy. If you have any alternative, you should take it.
bad movies
I've made some bad movies. And I really enjoyed it!
country movies
I want to make movies about my country from my point of view.
I haven't had a lot of comedy come my way as a performer.
I enjoy acting more and more than when I was 17.
humor
I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do.
fine
If you don't hurt anybody or try to steal anything, you'll be fine in the South.
spirit
You can't instruct an audience to laugh, but what you can do is read well and understand the spirit and subtleties, if there are any, in the dialogue.
