Existence itself is disconcerting and disorienting.

In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.

Remember when we didn't live in the future? When we were young, it was not the future yet.

It's such a weird thing: to sit and look at yourself is so distracting to the psyche. It would be like me standing in front of a mirror and looking at myself all day, trying to find a flaw.

There are beauty icons that I can never be like, sorta like a Gena Rowlands - I'll never have that look. I love Giulietta Masina, the great Fellini actress. But I'm probably more Seymour Cassel. Or somewhere between Lou Reed and Nora Ephron?

Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?

I'd love to go to school, but every time I try I get a movie. That's actually how I get work: I enroll. That's like my good luck charm.
