I'm so wrapped up in my work that it's often impossible to consider other things in my life. My marriage ended in divorce because of this, my relationship with Holly has suffered by this.
always-trying stuff reason
I'm always trying to complicate things. For some reason I'll go, "Well, maybe I can get that in," and stuff like that. I always make it really hard for myself.

Movie offers are out there for me, I just don't hear them yet.
obscurity poverty life-is
Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn't trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.
funny-motivational mean rocks
Just because I rock doesn't mean I am made of stone.
walking-away brain trying
You love the person for who they are, flaws and all. You can't help who you love, either. It comes from a different side of your brain than the logic part that tells you that this person is horrible for you - "You should walk away!" While you're walking away, the other part of your brain is trying to gain control of your bodily functions. "Turn around! She's the one!"

Madness is never that far away. It's as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse.

It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with.

Creative people don't behave very well generally. If you're looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you're gonna be depressed real fast. I don't have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She's my first priority.

Come back here so that I may brain thee!

mirrors rooms faces
I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize. I just spent hours making faces at myself, having a good time.
