“I learned a valuable lesson doing 'Mr. Sunshine,' which is that I didn't want to be in charge because it's too much. Being in charge and acting in every scene was just too difficult.

“I think most of us can remember from our own childhood, just in the Disney cartoons, things that frightened us profoundly. For me it was Bambi, the scene when the forest was on fire. That was something I had nightmares about.

“I learned a lot of details about 1920s clothes, cars, kitchen appliances, and food.

“As a fighter, you have a weight cut, and if there's a weigh-in scene you want to look way smaller and depleted. You want there to be a noticeable difference between that and the fight day. You don't drink water, except for tiny sips, and you're not really eating anything, except for a tiny slice of sweet potato every hour.” IfsWayWantLooksFightingWaterHoursDifferencesCuttingSweetDrinkSceneEatingWeightTinyFighterPotatoesDrink WaterSweet Potatoes Author:Matt Lauria
“My grandfather used to say 'Eat the biggest crabs first, that way you're always eating the biggest crabs.' In making a TV show, that means if you have a big funny or smart idea for an episode or a scene or a joke, go for it. Don't save it for another season or another episode, because you may not have the right time again. It's good advice for television, but truly stellar advice for eating crabs.” IfsWayFirstsMayMeanIdeasShowsBigsUsedAdviceTelevisionTvsSceneEatingSmartJokesSeasonsGrandfatherEpisodesTv ShowsRight TimeMy GrandfatherGood AdviceCrabsStellarAlways Eating Author:Jonathan Groff
“When I'm taking the subway to my improv shows I will be writing in my notebook different actions that I see people doing on the train whether it's eating yogurt or looking at where their stop is, or tripping or holding a baby. It's not preparing scenes and ideas as much as it is stoking your brain to think observantly. Just to place observations in your head, so that they are available somewhere.” PeopleThinkingWritingIdeasDifferentShowsActionBrainBabySceneEatingTrainAvailableObservationPreparingNotebookSubwayYogurtTripping Author:Mike Birbiglia
“We worked on The Perfect Storm, and I'll never forget, Wolfgang Petersen would talk about a moment. Like a non-speaking moment, where we'd all be sitting around eating dinner, and it would probably last maybe four seconds on screen. But he would sit there and talk about it for about 10 minutes. He knew what piece of the puzzle that scene would be, and if it were six seconds, it would be too long. If it were three seconds, it wouldn't be enough. I'm always turned on with people's enthusiasm like that.” LongEnoughMomentsPerfectForgetSceneEatingStormEnthusiasmNever ForgetPuzzles Author:William Fichtner

“Firekeeper still could not understand the human penchant for eating in company. Even less so, she could not understand the human desire to combine business and meals. True, a wolf pack shared a kill, but not from any great desire to do so—rather because any who departed the scene would be unlikely to get a share... She struggled...not to bolt her food and almost always remembered that growling when a person spoke to you was not a proper response.” HumansPersonsStillsWould BeDesireCompanyShareSceneEatingResponseRememberedMealsSpokesPacksUnlikelyBoltsDepartedGrowlingWolf Packs Author:Jane Lindskold
