He is currently working on \u201cDTF St. Louis,\u201d an HBO limited series and the first thing he has produced, with Jason Bateman and Linda Cardellini.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a video call from Los Angeles, he elaborated on the headphones, sunglasses and Zen mantra that he considers essential. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-7b0bba1\"><span>An Americano<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I drink it all day long. My doctor has told me to knock it off, but it is the last vice I have. I have an assistant and she does a lot of great things for me, but probably the No. 1 job is she brings me too many Americanos throughout the day.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-6b1fffd3\"><span>Wired Headphones<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I love a tangled cord. I used to carry a CD player back in the early 2000s and I would put on headphones and walk around the East Village and have my little soundtrack to my life. Just sort of float through.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-597fab64\"><span>Jacques Marie Mage\u2019s Yves Sunglasses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They\u2019re wide, they\u2019re big. I like them to be a very light tint so that I can wear them indoors and at night and people don\u2019t think I\u2019m wearing sunglasses. But they still sort of shield your eyes. It\u2019s a funny thing that when people can\u2019t see your eyes, they really don\u2019t recognize you as well.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-48076421\"><span>My Yellowbird Wallet<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There\u2019s a shop in Little Five Points, which is the East Village of Atlanta, for Native American stuff, and a guy called Yellowbird paints these wallets. I have a wallet with a bear on it, and I got a drum that I keep out as a talisman for the hawk that just basically sits on my roof until he finds a little chipmunk that hasn\u2019t gotten the memo.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-764f0ff2\"><span>Zen Mantra<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/21\/world\/asia\/thich-nhat-hanh-dead.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Thich Nhat Hanh<\/a> was a Zen monk from Vietnam who was quite an incredible man. His mantra things are so simple, but so profound. \u201cBreathing in, I\u2019m aware that I\u2019m breathing in. Breathing out, I\u2019m aware that I\u2019m breathing out. Breathing in, present moment. Breathing out, wonderful moment. Enjoy your breath.\u201d It\u2019s a bite-size bonbon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-6dc3020\"><span>My Meds<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since I was diagnosed bipolar when I was 26, I\u2019ve always taken mental pills, whatever you call them. I\u2019ve gone back and forth about the necessity of them so I struggle with the idea that they are an essential to my life. But I do know that it can help people to know that you are not alone if you need these medications and that everybody needs something.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-695e5a78\"><span>A Binder With My Script Work<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of the things I miss about doing plays is you get to rehearse. Whereas with TV and film, you don\u2019t rehearse. My assistant now compiles all the work that I have ahead of me for the next two weeks, two weeks in advance, in a nice little binder. I need to constantly familiarize myself with something so it lives in my body before I go to shoot it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-270fd598\"><span>Acceptance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When I first got sober when I was 24, one of the pages of the Big Book [of Alcoholics Anonymous] that was really pivotal is they say acceptance is the key to all my problems. As the world gets more complex, the more deeply I need to find the people that can accept me, the situations that can accept me, and not only that can accept me, but that I can have acceptance for.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-2ca4e323\"><span>Sleeping In<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I was such a theater rat in my 20s. You\u2019re out after the play till 4 a.m., so I would sleep in until 1 p.m. Now I\u2019m a more film and TV guy, so you\u2019re up early at 6 in the morning. But I still have that beast inside me that wants to sleep till 1 p.m. every day. I feel no shame.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"css-15h6bi9 e1gnsphs0\" id=\"link-6e8687b\"><span>Ugliness<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I like looking at ugliness in all sorts of ways. It\u2019s another Zen concept that Thich Nhat Hanh has where it\u2019s like the lotus grows from the mud. If you don\u2019t have any mud, you don\u2019t have any lotus. Sometimes I can isolate myself into just looking at what\u2019s beautiful or hiding my face from situations or people that are ugly. It makes my life thinner and weaker, and it devalues beauty when I see it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/03\/movies\/david-harbour-thunderbolts-stranger-things.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Guardian never made the varsity squad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that&rsquo;s more than OK with David Harbour. &ldquo;Of<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/entertainment\/david-harbour-is-conflicted-about-becoming-a-morning-person\/03\/05\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48474,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2025\/05\/11\/arts\/11myten-Harbour\/11myten-Harbour-facebookJumbo.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48473"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
