Sleep: a poor substitute for caffeine!

I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.

Escape before it’s too late.

I never grew up thinking, 'One day I will play so and so' because I wasn't expecting to be an actor at all.

When I was a child, I did always feel that people were hiding things, and that they weren't expressing their true feelings. When adults are too complicated, and cover their emotions with layers of well-intentioned subterfuge, the child isn't seeing reality clearly enough and gets upset.

You know, I haven't written as much as most other writers. Certainly maybe those who keep a more regular schedule accomplish more.

I grew up in a very polite family, and I suppose my parents were both very polite, and from the time I was a young boy, I suspected that there were passions seething underneath and not being mentioned, and that was something that came to preoccupy me. Somehow I had some drive to write down what people might really be thinking.
