I'm not about to talk about what's romantic in my life - I figure if you talk about it once - then that's an open invitation for everyone to dig into your personal life even further
You are incredibly fortunate whatever success falls on you, which is what happened with me,
I've been through quite a few hurricanes. I worked in North Carolina, where there's a housing development whose name was Landfall.
You get a script and you love it. You find a director that you trust, and it becomes all about how do I commit to this as fully as possible? And the last thing you can afford to have in your mind is what are other people going to think of this?
I've always been a clown trapped in a leading man's body.

Ok, this is the most unfun threesome I have ever been a part of. Nobody's having sex and someone is yelling. I'm out of here.
The less seriously you take yourself, the better work you're going to do.
