My heart goes out to many women that I've met across the country who barely make enough to make a living, and they want to have kids. That's very understandable, but what do you do with the kids?
Fasten your seatbelts because you will go through tough times. Don't say that things are difficult. Stick it out as much as you can.
There's no one more willing to do something than an actor when it comes to perfecting a scene.
There are some directors I hear about in nighttime or some I used to work with who walk around like gods.
That's the biggest shame there is, that L.A. doesn't have a team. I was a big fan of the L.A. Rams, and when they left, I lost interest. Then there was the Raiders, and they left. How they can't have a football team in the biggest market in the world is beyond me.
I have a feeling that being in love sometimes means the projection of your desires onto another person. The important thing is that you like the other person, respect the other person and want to raise children with the other person.
I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says.
Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside you say, Why are they still married?
Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.
Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.
If it's really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house, for health insurance, someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick.
A mother's got to be there to raise the children. That's all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can't do it all the time.
The workplace should have a place where the kids can visit. They should have places at the mother's or the father's work where professionals can have their kids visit them whenever they feel like it.
It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.
