jobs careers challenges
It's really hard to find parts that challenge me as an actor these days. At this point in my career, I feel like I can just sleepwalk through most of my roles and still do a better job than 90 percent of the actors out there.
jobs mean thinking
I'm really not one to brag, but I think my job is one of the most important things someone can do with their life. I mean, it really gives people a chance to live outside their means through someone else's vision. And I think that's something really great that I can give back to the community. Sure I could be a doctor or a lawyer, but do they really help anyone? Sure you can save someone's life, but can you really change it for the better? I'm not saying their jobs aren't important, just not as important as mine.
jobs children school
My job as an actor has inspired generations of children to become doctors. My job as a writer has opened up the minds of millions. My job as a director has produced masterpieces that will be taught in film school for ages.
jobs simple way
I could be one if I wanted to, I'm just way too overqualified for a job that simple.
jobs day-jobs world
I love 'Scrubs.' It's the best day job in the world.
jobs writing acting
Dude, writing, acting and directing are such easy jobs. But to do them all as awesomely as Zach Braff does, well that... that's something.
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.
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.
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.
belly class dedicate fifth front imagine life mine people remember trying
In fifth grade, we had to write a story and read it in front of the class. When I read mine out, the class were just belly laughing. And I remember being like, 'This is the coolest!' So I want to dedicate my life to trying to make people laugh. I can't imagine doing anything else.
art festival house likes movies moving normally sad small sort theater
I'm a person who likes these sort of movies... sad but moving 'art movies' that normally are at a festival and then they go to a small art house theater and disappear.
