We never thought the show would last this long.
character years ideas
I was doing Hamlet in the off-season, and I had a specific idea in my mind about what I wanted that character to look like, and because it's going to lead into the next year, I knew that it was going to have to be established somewhere in the show.
character play impossible
It's absolutely true that it's almost impossible to play a character without having any affection for him.
hurt thinking work-out
I think that you can take things personally or get hurt feelings as a result of something not working out just because your psyche said it should or you deserve it, or whatever it is.
agriculture possibility walks
But I don't bet the farm on any of those possibilities, either. I'm also preparing, intelligently, to walk away from this, and walk away from it happy to have had the experience.
thinking democracy mixtures
Gobbledygook may indicate a failure to think clearly, a contempt for one's clients, or more probably a mixture of both. A system that can't or won't communicate is not a safe basis for a democracy.
science years goal
In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don't have a ton of options as an actor who's been on a science fiction show for 8 years.
way found
Ive always found ways to bend the rules.
brother book comic
My brother had boxes of comic books. He was really the collector.
comedy grain
I gravitate towards anything that has a grain of comedy to it.
people way
Theres a way about it: tearing people down, but not tearing them apart.
satisfying
I find directing more satisfying.
