I've consciously taken on material that's a bit too much for me but not an overreach. The first movie, just about performances.

Memories, all those little experiences make up the fabric of our lives and on balance, I wouldn't want to erase any of them, tempting though it may be.

Anybody tells you that money is the root of all evil doesn't have any.
Ben Affleck
Image
Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.
