life perfect people
My life is my statement and I try to be true to myself and thusly to other people. Whatever my failings are, they are human and I try to perfect it each day.
silent jokes
There were many times when I kept silent about being Jewish as I got older, when Jewish jokes were told.
tired writing class
Somewhere in university, I realized that I hadn't been to classes in months, and I'd get tired to the point of narcolepsy doing anything other than some form of performing, directing, writing, or acting.
men ideas space
I'm interested in man's march into the unknown but to vomit in space is not my idea of a good time. Neither is a fiery crash with the vomit hovering over me.
thinking appreciate desire
I think the acting satisfies the need and desire for approval.
fun reality trying
I guess the disc jockey thought I was trying to sing or something so ... they had fun with it. But the reality was that it was something, there was a concept behind it.
degrees students graduates
I had a major in business, and I graduated with a business degree, but I was perhaps the worst student to graduate from that program.
pain taken cynical
Pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. They're the things that we carry with us, they're the things that make us what we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away, I need my pain!
memories journey markers
Memories were the markers of the journey through life. It was necessary to know where you had come from. Only then could you know where you were going.
technology light fire
I love technology. Matches, to light a fire is really high tech. The wheel is REALLY one of the great inventions of all time. Other than that I am an ignoramus about technology. I once looked for the 'ON' button on the computer and came to find out it was on the back. Then I thought, anyone who would put the 'on' switch on the back, where you can't find it, doesn't do any good for my psyche. The one time I did get the computer on, I couldn't turn the damn thing off!
character play giving
Even one word, or certainly one sentence, should be able to describe the basic characteristic that the scene has, or the character has, or the story has. And then you begin to detail that one spine, and you have offshoots from that spine, and it becomes more and more complex, but all of it stems from that one-word, one-line theme, which can give the character, the scene, or the play its uniqueness.
character proud kirk
All in all, Kirk's character is something I am very proud of.
destiny free-will conundrums
The conundrum of free will and destiny has always kept me dangling.
movie esperanto actors
I did a movie in Esperanto.
