madness prerequisites
Madness is a prerequisite of being in showbusiness.
sexy lying giving
If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell.

I'm not a great poetry fan.
world way becoming
I don't accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don't like what it's become. I don't blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It's got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.

Well, you can't be a Hollywood movie star with one tiny little role in a movie. You have to have a body of work -- successful work, I guess,
car paying toaster worried
I think we've been dulled by capitalism. We're just blobs now - we're so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car, the mortgage, the lease on the toaster and all that. You can't really think about much else. If you lose that, you lose the whole lot.
