That's life: trust and you're betrayed; don't trust and you betray yourself.
I really enjoy the now because that's all we're certain of.

I choose jobs quite selfishly. I do them for me and the exploration you get to go on with a character. . . seeing how they react in certain situations, how they develop. If audiences enjoy it, then that's the cherry on top. You don't expect it but it's really nice when it happens. It adds to it and enhances the overall experience.

We can no longer communicate with the apes by direct language, nor can we understand, without special study, their modes of communication which we have long since replaced by more elaborate forms. But it is at least presumable that they could still detect in our speech, at least when it is public and elaborate, the underlying tone values with which it began. Thus if we could take a gibbon ape to a college public lecture, he would not understand it, but he would "get a good deal of it. " This is all the students get anyway.
