It never occurred to me to be an actor.

I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.

I have probably four or five male friends who have a real strong masculine side but some degree of a feminine side, too. They're pretty rare, whereas I think women with a masculine side are much less rare.

As an actor there are no drawbacks.

It's tough to figure out how do we compete in Europe and North America, when obviously a living wage for us is very different than a living wage in Indonesia.

I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.

I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.

It seems whenever I've had a method or what I perceived to be an intellectual groundwork of some sort - a kind of game plan - it's always been the most morbid failure.
