If you get excited about something, it’s totally okay to show it.
Especially while television I think is going through some growing pains or is in need of – I think current comedy is a bit, uh, not happening, you know?
And you don’t want to just totally mess up the rhythm when you’re playing with Bob Dylan.
Drama is not hard for me. It just didn’t seem hard.
And you know, we did it as an independent film, and we weren’t expecting it to be on television, and Lifetime ended up buying it. And the viewers responded intensely to that film.
The most memorable moment was playing drums with Bob Dylan.
In comedy, something may be more absurd, but you have to believe just as much as you do when you’re doing drama.
I want to go outside and play.
I intend to make Scientology as accessible to as many people as I can.
Not hippie – my parents were not hippies – but they were very supportive and encouraging, and that does a lot for someone, and it gives them a lot of confidence.
Playing in front of an audience was just such a turn-on for me, and you have 200 people in the audience and it’s like doing live theater. And filming something that goes to millions of people several weeks later, it’s an interesting dynamic.
My motto is that I enjoy life. I think there’s a kind of simplicity to that way of thinking.
I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved, and you can have great marriages, and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television.
I can’t say I can foresee the future and tell the stars, you know. But I do have an understanding for my own reality, just elements and things that I’ve learned from.
Yeah, I think the common denominator – and this is probably going to sound like Acting 101 – but the common denominator is belief in the character in the moment.
Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that’s definitely a challenge.
And I’m so excited to remind people and even gain new fans who find out about Dharma – a new generation who could find out about Dharma and enjoy her and all the characters on the show.
It’s such a pleasurable experience to look back, and all of the fun I had just comes rushing back.
I got good notice from that show, and on the last day of filming Townies, Twentieth Century Fox called wanting to meet with me about a development deal.
Sting! I mean, come on – whoe doesn’t love Sting? Even if you love Megadeath, you have respect for Sting. If you love Pokemon, you’ll find out who Sting is someday.
