But to this day I am convinced that the real reason we met was because Alexander is from Nebraska and he was completely fascinated that I was about to go off and make a movie with Brando - perhaps the most famous Nebraskan of all.
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.
I was one those kids who had books on them. Before weddings Bar Mitzvahs funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading my family would frisk me and take the book away.

There are a lot of Christian fundamentalists there are a lot of Muslim extremists. Every religion - Mormonism - has something way on the side that's completely using the religion as some weird backbone for their twisted faith. It has nothing to do with their religion.

Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history therefore we must be saved by faith.
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
