I was really lucky that, through my 20s, I got to work with some amazing people, and I tried to sit back and watch and learn.
From James Badge Dale
I can't go to the hardware store, cut a sheet in half and staple it to the window anymore. It doesn't fly.
My experience as a young actor on network television was that I couldn't make it work. I was drowning as an actor.
In a weird way, I live vicariously through the characters I play as an actor.
I got beat up by the comic-book kids when I was younger! They were cooler than me. Talk about levels of geekdom, I was a couple rungs below the kids who read comic books. Yeah. Not so cool, man.
The older I get, the more vegetables I eat. I can't stress that more. Eating healthy really affects my work. You not only need to be physically prepared, but mentally and spiritually.
I grew up in a crazy, gypsy-like household of actors, dancers and loony Broadway people. It was their way of life, and I didn't know anything else.
