High expectations weren't nurtured in my neck of nowhere back then - children weren't fawned over from an early age as 'gifted' and groomed for a prizewinning future; self-esteem was considered something you had to pick from the garden yourself.
There probably aren't a lot of actors my age who tap dance.
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.
For the youth, the indignation of most things will just surge as each birthday passes.
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!
Perhaps middle-age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells; the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego.

My 21st birthday was awesome. I was in L. A. , and it was great. I had a bunch of friends that came out. The night ended up in a completely different direction than we thought it was going to go.
The weird thing about having your birthday on a school day is that by the time you get to be ten, or eleven for sure, no one at school knows it's your birthday anymore. It's not like when you're little and your mom brings cupcakes for the whole class. But even though no one knows, you walk around like it's supposed to be a national holiday. You walk around thinking that people are supposed to be nice to you, like maybe on your birthday you're ten times more breakable than on any other day. Well, it doesn't work that way.
