'Clybourne Park' was my first job after the birth of my son, who was 11 weeks old when we started rehearsals.

To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act!
I was incredibly impressed with HOTorNOT, because it was the first time that someone had designed a website where anyone could upload content that everyone else could view.

The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.

For some ungodly reason, I end up being naked in a lot of stuff. But there is a certain grace and kudos that come with taking your clothes off on the first day, a respect that is given by the rest of the cast.
The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.

The first two pictures I did, I played a young student in prep school. When I did Lifeguard, everyone was saying, You're so Southern California. It was a surprise to me.
It was my first time in Kansas City. In about two or three days I had a gig at a place called The Monroe Inn.
The first election I remember was Dewey Truman in '48. I was, I guess, seven years old.
On the first album I was saying, that's just one part of me. And then I was thinking, well, am I going to hide the rest of me now just because I'm afraid of something? No. I'm just going to be myself.

They often stumble at the switch, taking many tries before they hit their stride again.
Stand-up can take you in so many different places, man. So many doors can be opened up from stand-up comedy, and the first one that was opened up for me was acting.
Well, unfortunately, my father passed away before my first book was published, so he never lived to see me as an author. But I think my mum was suitably pleased because she was mad about words. If she ever came across a word that she didn't know, she would always look it up in the dictionary.
My first movie was with Mike Nichols.
The first temptation, upon meeting an old friend after many years, is always to - look the other way.
Before I wrote my first novel, 'The Expats,' I spent nearly two decades at various arms of publishing houses such as Random House, Workman, and HarperCollins, mostly as an acquisitions editor.
