My parents were working in a hospital in Memphis. But I didn't live there for any length of time that I remember. The first thing I remember is the town in Mississippi that I live in now, Charleston.
I have never acted he has never been cast in a romantic lead or has been cast opposite a female love interest in any movie he starred in.
Insanity is coasting through life...
I was always ambitious. I always wanted to be more than I was....I always wanted to be a movie actor.
I grew up in the South but I started dancing in my twenties when I got out of the Air Force, and studying dance, you're surrounded by gay guys all the time. You get to know them and you have to shift gears!
I never think about awards or anything like that when I do a job. I was first named a best actor when I was 12 years old and it doesn't really mean anything when you get down to it, because there is no best. I don't get all that invovled. My chest puffs up as much as I can puff it up but I am not trying to be better than the person I am acting with. I am trying to be at least as good. That's how it works.
The odds are lousy that I actually said something attributed to me.
They're talking about kids who have grand mal seizures, and they've discovered that marijuana eases that down to where these children can have a life. That right there, to me, says, 'Legalize it across the board!'
Is listening important? I can't think of a single walk of life where it wouldn't be.
Ive got a lot of life left in me and I want to live it doing things I like to do.
People say it's a movie about boxing, but... I don't agree at all. I don't think it's a movie about boxing. Boxing is like a platform. It's just a stage where this is played out.
As the mask of deception falls off the face of humanity Unveiling the grim reality of duality In which everyone is a casualty, no one will be exempt Truth has many shades It's not a matter of black and white, but gray Although many, we are one, so in the final analysis Could it be that we are fighting a war that can't be won?
I've been living with myself all of my life, so I know all of me. So when I watch me, all I see is me. It's boring.
The surest way to lose at any endeavor is to quit.
