I think until you reach your mid-30s, there's either a real acceptance of where you are or a resignation of where you are.
I always thought I had a face like the moon, because I had really chubby cheeks when I was a kid, right up until my mid-20s. My face changed in my later 20s and again in my mid-30s.
I lived in a studio apartment with my dad for many years when he was struggling.
If anything, when you're in your late 20s, early 30s, and then mid-30s, you're getting less attractive.
You don't see too many attacking flair players continuing until their mid-30s at a high level.
Most of the people I admire as actors didn't make it until their mid-30s: the Mark Ruffalos, the John Hawkeses of the world.
I think the other thing that shaped me a little bit is that I really didn't have any success in music until my early to mid-30s.
Until I have a family or a mortgage, I'm trying to keep my lifestyle simple and my apartment affordable so that I can continue to focus on theater. That's as good as it gets for me.

If I look at the people that I look up to, a lot of them don't come to the forefront until their early to mid-30s. I think the most exciting roles are definitely yet to come.

I'm a little older and fatter now, and I'm not exercising as much. My lifestyle these days involves a lot of beer and pasta. But there's something satisfying in letting your body go to hell. So maybe I won't get offered the same kind of role as before. So what? I'm happy to play the guy in his mid-30s who may be a little unhealthy. "Fat and arrogant" is what I'm bringing to the script.
I only lived in Sudan until I was four years, so I cannot really relate to that. It is just a different lifestyle.
In your mid-30s, you have to take inventory, or you'll stumble.
And my life for the first - you know, when I was in my 20s and 30s, I had my career, and I traveled the world, I lived out of a suitcase. I stayed up until dawn. I did all of those things that were very exciting.
In the year 2000, the very youngest members of the Baby Boomer crew were in their mid-30s while the oldest Boomers were mid-50s. That year, the Boomers were a generation divided somewhat equally between the GOP and Democrats.
