A lot of the things I've enjoyed the most and that I think have been the best are ensembles.
I think [The Outsiders] really forged who I am as an actor, and it's one of the reasons why I keep being drawn to big ensembles where I'm surrounded by strong, successful actors or personalities. Because that was my initial foray into movie making.
No great television show has ever rested on just one person. They're all about great ensembles and storytelling.
Every ecosystem, even a small one, is sustainable because it has certain ensembles and conditions and influences that are unique to it. And the biological ensembles are almost certainly, even the most modest ones, in the thousands of species. We don't know what's involved in the models - not even the beginnings. And yet we're trying to make a sustainable world, which has to include the natural world. The human species is triumphant, but it's got to get a grip. It's got to come to understand what's happened, why we're this way and what we're doing.
It's kind of like, I love doing tons of different things. The only thing I hate is not being in ensembles.
It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.
I always want to be a part of ensembles. Besides it feeling safer, I think it's a more fun environment to work in. To have a bunch of people collaborating on something, it takes the pressure off of each individual.
I've been lucky enough to be part of some great ensembles in theater - I'd been doing theater since college.
I've always been attracted to ensembles. When I started doing plays in high school and in college, I always loved the community aspect of it. I loved these little families that would develop.
