Waiting, done at really high speeds, will frequently look like something else.
I'd like to wear my old [cinnamon buns] hairstyle again - but with white hair,
I have two moods. One is Roy, rollicking Roy, the wild ride of a mood. And Pam, sediment Pam, who stands on the shore and sobs... Sometimes the tide is in, sometimes it's out.
Acting engenders and harbours qualities that are best left way behind in adolesence.
I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.
Me being an actor was an accident, and not something I wanted to do, because I knew what happened eventually. Yeah, maybe you'd get famous, but then you wouldn't be famous anymore. Then you'd have to scramble to get back to where you were, and chances are, you wouldn't.
I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn't know. It was something I always did.
My favorite films are ones that have my lines in it, and I like those lines. And I like to hear them.

I am someone who will rise to an occasion like that. Other occasions can defeat me.
