Tags: Looking, Ourselves, SeriouslyI used to write things for friends. There was this girl I had a crush on, and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her, so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way.
Tags: Girl, School, TeacherI spent my first two years at a small all-male college in Virginia called Hampden-Sydney. That was like going to college 120 years ago. The languages, a year of rhetoric, all of the great books, Western Man courses, stuff like that.
Tags: College, Great, SmallMy brother Billy was the joke teller. My brother Jim had a really sharp, cutting wit. And the teller of long stories, that was my brother Ed. As a child, I just absorbed everything they said, and I was always in competition for the laughs.
Tags: Brother, Child, SaidNo, my mom kind of led me toward acting. She wanted to be an actress when she was younger. That made me interested in it when I was a kid, because she and I are very close.
Tags: Acting, Mom, WantedThe trouble with the jokes is that once they're written, I know how they're supposed to work, and all I can do is not hit them. I'm more comfortable improvising. If I have just two or three ideas and I know how the character feels, what the character wants, everything in between is like trapeze work.
Tags: Between, Character, WorkTruthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word. I don't know whether it's a new thing, but it's certainly a current thing, in that it doesn't seem to matter what facts are. It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything.
Tags: Country, Mean, OpinionIn order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant. One motto on the show is, 'Keep your facts, I'm going with the truth.'
Tags: Keep, Motto, TruthThe interesting thing about grief, I think, is that it is its own size. It is not the size of you. It is its own size. And grief comes to you.
Tags: Grief, SizeI can't prove it, but I can say it.
Tags: ProveI just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.
Tags: Famous, Law, TimeAnd if you love only yourself, you will serve only yourself. And you will have only yourself.
Tags: Love, Serve, YourselfIf I had free time to go to Los Angeles to shoot a movie, I would rather spend it with my kids.
Tags: Free, Rather, TimeThere's nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell.
Tags: Friends, Gay, HellI used to make up stuff in my bio all the time, that I used to be a professional ice-skater and stuff like that. I found it so inspirational. Why not make myself cooler than I am?
