My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.
If 'Black Balloon' had come out before 'The Mummy,' casting agents wouldn't have been able to see me for the first time in 'The Mummy.' But now that 'The Mummy' has come out before 'The Black Balloon,' that's a very good combination.
Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.
I teethed on books of heroes such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and King David.
I loved history, particularly of the British, American and Old Testament kind.
I have decided to follow in my sinful ways, and have largely abandoned the increasingly religious life I was leading over the previous months, including several hours of Talmudic study a day.
