Acting isn't a game of "pretend." It's an exercise in being real.
We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection.
Accept that environment compromises values far more than values do their number on environment.
But I always had the ability to say no. That's how I called my own shots.
So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.
If I'm remembered for having done a few good things and if my presence here has sparked some good energies, that's plenty.
