The fact is, I never wanted to be a movie star.
I would have done anything for him. Maybe that was my sickness.
The mistakes I've made are dead to me. But I can't take back the things I never did.
I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.
The only way to overcome sadness is to consume it.
It was not the feeling of completeness I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
It was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn't think about my life at all.
People of a television culture need “plain language” both aurally and visually, and will even go so far as to require it in some circumstances by law. The Gettysburg Address would probably have been largely incomprehensible to a 1985 audience.
The world is equally shocked at hearing Christianity criticized and seeing it practiced.
The trace I leave to me means at once my death, to come or already come, and the hope that it will survive me. It is not an ambition of immortality; it is fundamental. I leave here a bit of paper, I leave, I die; it is impossible to exit this structure; it is the unchanging form of my life. Every time I let something go, I live my death in writing.
When I was in high school, my parents had this power over me - if I ever lied or got caught doing something that I shouldn't be doing, then I would no longer be able to go to LA and continue to pursue the acting thing. So that was this sort of looming thing they could had over me that just sort of really kept me in check throughout those formative years where you would typically be lying and doing bad stuff.
