long stories mouths
The truth is, if you're around long enough, you have a story about everyone. But it's best to keep your mouth shut sometimes.
people community stories
I love theaters. I love the event of going there and seeing a movie with a lot of people. I like the community coming around the story.
frustration stories directors
That's a frustration sometimes, that certain directors that I'd like to work with, they just aren't doing stories that I'm sort of castable in. Not always, but sometimes I have that frustration.
stories pushing buttons
You can be intuitive when you've got a more expansive role. You can get into the poetry of telling the story rather than just pushing buttons.
interesting people stories
I have some sort of affinity for compulsive behavior. The most interesting stories come up from the people on the outside.
