Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.

I liked it when I was younger, I could always play the lead in the movie and I could do all the romantic scenes with the women, and it was fun and I liked to play that.

Woody AllenWe looked at each other. And it occurred to me that despite his faults, which were numerous and spectacular, the reason Iโd liked Boris and felt happy around him from almost the moment Iโd met him was that he was never afraid.

He always counseled daring, in whatever situation, the courage to test the unknown, an instruction that was thematically in opposition to my motherโs.
