choose life material work
I'm actually living my life with the material I choose to work with.
life
I think life without spirit is in the dark, it is absurd.
life
I hate to think life is just facts and laws.
essence life material source truth worth
The source of all the material comes from nothingness, illusion is working more on things you can prove. That's the principle, the essence of life, it is actually an illusion, not immaterial. That's worth pursuing. So illusion is not nothing. In a way, that is the truth.
background fight general life people
I had to fight with my background ... but I also had to live in the general environment. People have to be categorized. That's very annoying. Don't you find that annoying? Life shouldn't be like that. The world isn't like that. There's a lot of complexity. There are exceptions.
lady remember thinking
I remember thinking to myself 'Does he have a lady thing with her?'.
small work
I thought it was a small work of love. I never thought it would play like this.
figure love work
The father figure is something I love, but also suffocate from and want to work against.
hugging
Hugging her would have been a little embarrassing.
dealing political push specific trying
I didn't have a specific message. I wasn't trying to push any political issues. We are dealing here with love.
shy
I was very quiet, very shy and docile.
work
I think I can work with any type of actor.
terror test
I had to test a new terror in myself.
felt
For six years, from 1985 to 1991, I felt pretty weak and useless.
