The shallow teapot does the most spouting, and boils dry most quickly!
At a very early age I knew I wanted to be an actor and then more specifically that I wanted to be on Broadway and be in musicals.
So much of being an actor is trying to force yourself into these roles and sometimes it's a good fit, and sometimes it's not a good fit. You have to get clear about what it is that you do and not try to be a bunch of other people. Not try to be that guy or try to play that part; find the roles that you do well.
This is a musical, ma'am. If there's no gay, there's a problem.
Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.
I don't want to be lofty, but it was groundbreaking, in many ways, for musical theater, so that was really thrilling to be part of The Book of Mormon. And Girls felt very much the same way - there was an excitement about it as we were doing it; I knew it was something special.
I've certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you're not supposed to make people laugh.

My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
Holding on to beliefs limits our experience of life. That doesn't mean that beliefs or ideas or thinking is a problem; the stubborn attitude of having to have things be a particular way, grasping on to our beliefs and thoughts, all these cause the problems. To put it simply, using your belief system this way creates a situation in which you choose to be blind instead of being able to see, to be deaf instead of being able to hear, to be dead rather than alive, asleep rather than awake.
The Buddha taught three cycles of teachings. His first cycle of teachings cover the basics, the prerequisites. This would include the Dharmapada.
