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.
games play sweat
I don't care about image and all that nonsense. I'm in sweat pants every day. I don't play the game at all.
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.
play careers black
You always see actors complaining about being typecast and ruining their career. Really, I don't see the point in complaining. If the only role you can play well is a black dude, you're never going to get ahead in this town, and you should just accept it.
wise thinking play
I think in a play it's wise to just sit back and watch other actors and be able to shape it from the audience.
play people suffering
When I played the Shins, I changed someone's life. When I play Belle and Sebastian in a pivotal scene in my next movie...well, let's just say I made sure I that I can't be held legally responsible for all the deaths people will suffer out of shock upon hearing them. They're a terrific band.
player garden dvds
If we're going to solve the problems in North Korea, the first thing we're going to have to do is start helping them get basic amenities like electricity, televisions, and DVD players over there. Otherwise, how can they watch 'Garden State'?
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.
running play done
When things seem to be slowing down, there's this little trick I like to play. I'd plow this virgin who's on her period, and after I'm done I'd just run out into the living room, or the dance floor, with all that bloody goop on my junk and yell, OH MY GOD, I'VE BEEN SHOT IN THE NADS! Yeah, good times.
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.
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.
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.
chapter opening
This movie's really about someone who's opening up a new chapter in their life.
ability fill goofy great guy huge interested magazine parts people poster relate shoes
They're huge shoes to fill ... if people see any similarities, he was a goofy guy who wasn't your stereotypical magazine poster boy, but he had the ability to be a great everyman. If I can set out to do anything in my career, it would be to play people that the people can relate to. Those are the parts I'm most interested in doing.
