Jason Schwartzman can find joy in cleaning.
The ‘Darjeeling Limited’ actor always tries to look for positive aspects to everything he does, even mundane daily chores, but admits it is sometimes a struggle.
“You can be cleaning your house and all of the sudden get an exhilarating feeling. When I’m walking my dog and he does something beautiful – it’s all about finding these little pockets of heat in the world. But it’s hard. It’s like mining for gold.”
The 29-year-old star says he has always been a positive person, even when having problems in his youth.
Speaking about the similarities between himself and Ash, the young fox cub son of the titular character he voices in animated movie ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’, Jason added to USA Today newspaper:
“I related to that character. I didn’t hit a growth spurt until a little bit later. I was an athlete, but I would have loved to have been a better athlete. I liked girls who typically liked someone else I knew.
“My dad was a little bit different. He really loved me. I also was different because I tried not to get grumpy.”
Man, I wish I could find joy in cleaning and walking the dog. Something I need to start working on apparently! 
What’s your attitude towards mundane chores? Do you try to find the positive in everything? Or do you just get done what needs to get done?

i love being surrounded by positive people
but these days it’s quite the contrary…don’t know why ,but everyone is grumpy and can’t stop arguing and cursing ..oh well it will pass (i hope)
I have seen him in movies before – for example, Rushmore – but it wasn’t until I started watching him in Bored to Death on HBO that I started crushing on him, lol. He is cute!
Kisskiss is right – his mom is Talia Shire, Adrianne from Rocky.
Adrian? Adrianne? Idk Anyway, I think Talia is Francis Ford Coppola’s sister maybe. And Nicolas Cage is related to them too.
haha he does.
