Like My Dad, I Have A Christmas

As Actors We Always Say That Once The Person In A Scene Gets What They Want, The Scene Is Over. It's Resolved. But Life Is Never Resolved - You're Always In The Process.

I've Dated People Who I Thought Were Going To Be A Big Deal In My Life, And I've Also Spent Long Periods By Myself.

It's Core To My Beliefs Now: Sometimes In Being Given A Challenge, You're Actually Being Given A Real Opportunity, And A Lot Of That Is How You Handle It. Do You Feel Sorry For Yourself Or Do You Think, All Right! I'll See What I Can Make Out Of This? I've Had That Over And Over. If I Hang Out In The Disappointment, I'll Just Be Disappointed All The Time.

I Definitely Wanted To Be An Actor. I Didn't Want To Be On Tv, I Didn't Want To Be Famous, I Didn't Want To Be Anyone In Particular; I Just Wanted To Do It. I See Young People Now Who Look At Magazines, Or American Idol And Their Goal Is To Have That Lifestyle - To Have Good Handbags, Or Go Out With Cute Guys From Shows, Or Whatever. But I Definitely Wanted To Be An Actor.

We're All Working Hard, But So Far Away From What We Actually Want To Be Doing. We're All Peering In At The Window Of A Party We Aren't Invited To Yet, A Party We Wouldn't Know How To Dress For, Or What Kind Of Conversation To Make, Even If We Came As Someone's Guest.
