character dual garden jersey meaning mind state
I think Jersey is a character (in the film), and there's a dual meaning with a state of mind - a garden is where things begin.
character writing play
The way I write is that I'll actually have a conversation out loud with myself. In a weird way, I just kind of get schizophrenic and play two characters.
character garden way
Honestly, the only way Garden State could have been better was if I played every character. I'm awesome.
character mean player
I've always preferred Marvel over DC. I just relate to their characters better. I mean look at Wolverine, at first he was just a bit player in an ensemble cast. Now he's the only reason people read X-Men. Just like me and Scrubs.
running character games
One time I considered making a video game about my life where people control a character called 'Zach Braff' and run around being awesome. Then I realized that getting to pretend to be me would be like shooting up heroin for anyone who played it, and I don't want that on my conscience.
character gay doctors
It's kind of ironic that my character is a doctor who acts very gay with his best friend. I don't see how gays could ever be doctors, they spend too much time whining about everything. Just get off your soapbox and go back to designing floral arrangements
depressing character men
It depresses me when people expect me to be like the characters I play on film. I'm not some whiny loser punk, I'm a man's man.
character men play
I definitely try to play a common man in my roles so people can identify with my characters, but the truth of the matter is that it doesn't really matter what I do or my lines are, I'm still Zach Braff, and people know I'm better than them.
character would-be looks
You know how they do that effect in movies, where they make it look like you have a twin, but it's really just the same actor playing both characters in the scene? I knew this would be the best route, but I just wasn't comfortable dressing as a woman, so I had to hire other actors.
changed guy liked opinion saw short sitcom
They all saw my short films, and I think that changed their opinion of me as just a guy on a sitcom because they liked my movie.
kids dna tough
I've always wanted to have kids of my own, it's just tough finding a woman I wouldn't be wasting my DNA on.
bit came disney early feeling felt good happens maybe people putting reviews saw seeing time
Maybe that happens for the filmmakers, but I don't really feel that. I think they felt that before people started seeing the movie and Disney started to see what they had. And Disney saw some early reviews and that thing from Time came in and I think they were feeling a little bit of pressure. Then they started to see that they really had something good as you can see what they are putting into marketing.
aspect easy enjoy leader organizer requires stretch
For me that's the one that's the most challenging. And I say that not that the other two are easy by any stretch but the one that I feel like requires every aspect of myself. It requires me to be an actor, a writer, an organizer and a leader and I really enjoy it,
financier found last paid
It was pretty much the last person we found - an independent financier who paid for the whole thing out of his pocket.
