Only when you get into TV and film, do people really want you to be a 'specialist'.

When I arrive in Los Angeles in the entertainment community, and I use implements like a shovel and a hammer, our society has distanced itself so far from working with its hands that those incredibly pedestrian skills are perceived as somehow being extraordinary.

When we think of an actor, we think of a tanned, frosted-tipped, model-looking guy. We don't think of a plumber.

If you don't look at yourself and evaluate it, you instead see how the world's reacting to it.

I think the whole thing is kind of sad, honestly, in the same way that our civilization - particularly the consumers of pop culture - has grown so used to an emasculated, bare-chested leading man that something like simply growing a mustache can impress people.

No matter how you decide to spend a little more time on your gestures of giving, the point is just quite simply that you do.

Men and women alike, if you think that altering the tip of your nose with surgery will make you happier, I would suggest you alter something much more malleable than your flesh, like your priorities, or your friends.
