attitude tree way
It's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.
jobs skills extras
Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.
nice night tvs
There's something nice about making a night of the theater rather than sitting in front of your TV.
i-can
I can't sing or dance.

I have always stuck to my guns about what I want from the work and what interests me. I've never been seduced down the evil path. The path of taking the money.

fit
I always kept myself fairly fit.
