As an actor, if you're just sitting and staring and you don't know who you are in your own mind, it's vacant. And sometimes the camera is an X-ray machine, it can pick it up.
Albert Brooks
I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.
Albert Brooks
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
