Ben AffleckI think it's really important to have inter-generational relationships right; some level of communication between us silver-backed gorillas, who have been looking at and working on these problems for years, and the next generation of problem-solvers.

At first, that's terrifying, just because you don't have the words in front of you and you don't know how it's going to come out, but that's what's really exciting about it. You don't know what's going to happen. It really forces you to listen to the other people, and I think the most natural acting comes out of that.

I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.

I remember reading his pilot script and it was just so exciting that I started hopping around my room.

It's scary but at the same time it's exciting. There are a lot of choices for them.

This can be an exciting way to learn and a powerful one, because it really gets all the synapses to connect.
