I Am A Blank Slate - Therefore

The Most Attention I Get Is In A Book Store Or Video Shop When I Go To The Foreign Film Section. Sometimes That Can Be Fun, But Usually Those Women Want To Talk About Philosophy Or Something Very Dense. It's Not Like They're Tearing Off My Shirt, You Know.

If You're Sitting In The Audience, You Probably Can't See The Preparation And Work That Goes Into Creating A Great Scene Or A Great Part, But I Can Assure You That A Good Film Depends On Lot Of Different Things Falling Perfectly Into Place.

I Felt Like I Was An Outsider. I Think What Happened To Me Made Me Develop This Street Sense Of Watching People And Working Out What Made Them Tick, Wondering Whether I Could Trust Them Or Not. I Went To A Lot Of Schools Along The Coast In California, Made Few Friends And Stayed With Aunts, Uncles And Grandparents While My Folks Tried To Make Ends Meet. It Was Tough. We Had No Money.

I Might Have Some Character Traits That Some Might See As Innocence Or Naive. That's Because I Discovered Peace And Happiness In My Soul. And With This Knowledge, I Also See The Beauty Of Human Life.

You Live For Those Really Great Scenes Where You Almost Feel That The Film Has Gone Beyond What Was Printed On The Script Pages And Been Raised To Another Level.
