What Other People Think Of Me Is

As An Actor, You People-watch, You Observe. And The More Famous You Become, The Sad Thing Is You Lose The Ability To Do That. Instead Of People-watching, You Become The Focus Of Attention.

I Took A Bit Of A Back Seat, I Had Kids And I Wanted To Focus On Them. There's That Period In The Late '90s, The Early 2000s, Where I Didn't Do A Great Deal.
