I can be really silly, but I never get to do that. I'm always playing on-the-nose characters, professionals - lawyers, a serious news anchor, people with a really focused energy, which can become a cliched type.

It's not how pretty you are or how talented you are. It's that if these five people on this day in this room like you, then you get a job.

Between the kids, the jobs and everything, no matter what color you are, cardio is probably not on the top of your list.

I have a real no-nonsense dad who taught me how to be resilient at a very young age.

I was the only one in my family who was absolutely focused on acting since I was a kid.

My favorite memories were with my dad, throwing a football around when he came home from work. As long as kids are having fun, that's the biggest deal at the end of the day.

It is not only my laboratory and my place of work but also my home, so that on the 30th October I was able to share my happiness immediately with my students and collaborators and, at the same time, with my wife and family.

The brutal truth is, we're scarcely 'educating' children at all. Even if you overlook the guilt, fear, bigotry, and dangerous anti-intellectual flapdoodle being funneled into young brains by schools on the religious right, what we're doing is training kids to be cogs in the wheels of commerce.
