caring connect easy ego everybody famous generally good people run worked
I've been pretty fortunate; everybody I've worked with has been pretty ego-free and they're just there to do the work and they're famous because they do good work. And the people I've run into have generally been pretty giving, caring people. It's easy to connect with that.

You simply cannot control other people's thoughts or actions and you can't even necessarily control your own thoughts and feelings, you know? All you can do is make your choices of what you do with your life and what your actions are and sometimes when you do let things go and you're more passive or more active. And, you know, it's just interesting and it's important to keep on top of myself and be super honest with myself.
asking coming deeply inside insight life means outside philosophy prefer rather
You're asking me to give insight into my personality or my philosophy of acting. I just don't think that deeply about it. What it means when I do this or that - I don't know. That's coming outside of myself. I prefer to live my life from inside of me, rather than come outside.
advantage basics deal dynamics explore feelings interested less marriage primarily process relationships results tend touch understand willing women
I think women have the advantage over men - they tend to be much more in touch with their feelings and understand the dynamics of how relationships work. Men are much more cold-blooded and less willing to explore what makes a marriage or a relationship work. We like to deal in results and women are interested primarily in the process of the relationship, the little things which are actually the basics of how men and women interact.

I felt like I was an outsider. I think what happened to me made me develop this street sense of watching people and working out what made them tick, wondering whether I could trust them or not. I went to a lot of schools along the coast in California, made few friends and stayed with aunts, uncles and grandparents while my folks tried to make ends meet. It was tough. We had no money.
