I try to be in the office as much as possible to get the full experience working with volunteers, making phone calls, putting out signs - things that the communications director probably normally wouldn't do.
When you're working on a film, it's almost like photographing paintings at a museum. You're photographing somebody else's world. I just try and interpret it and make it real, and make it what the actors are about, what the director is about, and what the film is about.
The thing with physical comedy is that you have to actually try to do the thing you're trying to do - you can't fake it.

People who pity themselves think, 'Why would I try to do anything? I'll just fail.'
I'm not a planner. I like to try something different, to just see what happens.
My priority is my son and my husband, and I have a lot of spinning plates, so I try to make sure they're not one of them.
A famous man once said, 'A sure formula for failure is to try and please everyone.' Some might say I built a career on doing just the opposite of pleasing everyone.
Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.
I find it amusing on one level, poignant on another, when people try to get recognition from an outside source. It's sad.
You can't suppress the things that make us human. It's pointless to try.
I try to buy shares of unpopular companies when they look like road kill and sell them when they've been polished up a bit.
