years letters watches
I once got a letter from a woman who told me she was 90. She said if she were 30 years younger, I would have had to watch out. I guess 60 seems really young when you're 90. She said she would eat me with a spoon.
school done benefits
I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.
war rocks squad
I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere.

I felt a rush of trust--felt that life might be not just tolerable but beautiful, if I could only remember to find the bare Present.

Life is short. It's God's fault. Sorry.

beautiful believe people
Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.
break-up school band
You can never rely on musicians. I quit high school at one point to make a go of it with this band and we kept breaking up. So I went back to school.
fighting faces fists
Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face.
enjoy time-off
But I do enjoy the freedom of doing a movie and then having some time off.
