Ask Mother for advice on breaking into show business.
children acting discouraged
I grew up in an acting family. I was heavily discouraged from doing it myself when I was young, which is the only responsible route to take with any child, because its not necessarily the easiest of lives.
knowing people acting
Acting is a cruel enough business. One minute everyones going Hey! and the next theyre going Who?. You certainly dont need people knowing your private business, especially if you want to come out with your head still attached.
nice kids actors
Adult actors are really childish, and thats nice to be around when youre a kid. So the big reason I wanted to be an actor was I really enjoyed actors company - which probably makes me about as shallow as a puddle. But it could be worse. I could be working for a living.
play dwarves people
If you do something and it proves to be a success, then people go 'get him to do that type of thing again, but only slightly different'. Either you do that or you go 'No! I want to play a leprous, lesbian dwarf from Guatemala!' But those parts just aren't coming to me.
gay nightclubs offers
Gay nightclubs offer better dance music.
fun childhood sticks
During my childhood, I was surrounded by actors and all I remember is they were fun to be around. That kind of sticks.
regret moving past
When you look to the past, don't sit and dwell on your regrets. Instead, focus on the things you learned from each experience and how they may enrich your future. Use the past not as something to hold you back, but as a method for reaffirming the drive to move forward on your chosen path.
moon technology years
Humans had spent thousands of years climbing out of caves and building technology so they could reach the moon and live in caves again.
war winning thinking
Deplorable practices adopted during the last century were repeatedly declared necessary if regrettable in order to win the war. Oddly enough, we've yet to win. You'd think somebody would have asked before this why the regrettable but necessary measures haven't actually produced the promised results.
people tactics authority
Security is not a license for people in authority to hide the tactics they would never openly admit to using.
patience dark light
He felt the comfort of being part of an eternal cycle symbolized by the gold strips on either side of the black mourning band he wore. Light, dark, light. The dark was just an interval.
interesting people terrible
Sagas wouldn't be interesting if terrible things didn't happen to the people in them.
war winning mirrors
There are things we don't do. From this moment forth, let us all ensure our every action reflects well on us and our ancestors. Let us live to the highest standards, lest we win this war only to find ourselves staring in the mirror at the face of our late enemy.
