films goes huge money passes shows sort town
They put all this money into these huge films and then no one goes to see them. That sort of shows they're out of touch. Then everyone in town passes on my little movie and it does really well.
building enormous fan fifth love ok people point season shows year
The fifth season isn't a year that's about building an enormous fan base. It's about going, OK these are our hard-core fans, let's make shows for them. Let's really point it at the people who love our show. I feel like this season, more than any, is really aimed at doing all the things we know that people who really love this show love about it.
silly tv-shows guy
I said, I'm on this TV show and I love doing it, but I don't want to be known always as the silly "Scrubs" guy... So part of me was like, You know what? Life's short. Let's go for it.
fans fiction shows
That Hugh Laurie show is nothing but Scrubs fan fiction.

It's not terrible, I guess, but if Ricky Gervais was half as talented as me, maybe the show would actually be funny once in a while.

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.
offered written
I think I felt compelled in a way because if I hadn't written the part, I never would have been offered the part. There are at least 10 guys who would have been offered the part before me.
