What you really need to build a character is exactly what you don't have in the movies - time. You know, movies are like a line drawing. You have to make very quick decisions, which are, in the end instinctive. Or you make a decision to say "Well, maybe I can do that, because... Oh, that could be irritating after a while, or distracting, etc. etc." Some of it is a matter of time, always.

Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.

If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.

I can have incredible self-discipline. But see, I think it's obviously a form of stupidity.

I'm not a very skeptical person.

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.

Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
