One can never call me a quitter I take something right and see it through till itβs wrong Auctioning myself off to the lowest bidder Going once, going twice Gone Sold to the man for the price of disdain Some are sold for a song I donβt rate a refrain I guess it was all going just a little too well If I wasnβt careful Iβd be happy pretty soon Heavenβs no place for one who thrives on hell, One who prefers the bit to the silver spoon. Then just when Iβd almost resigned myself to winning When it seemed my bright future would never dim When my luck looked as though it was only beginning I met him. Sullen and scornful; a real Marlboro man The type who pours out the beer and eats the can A tall guy with a cultivated leer One you can count on to diaprove or disappear I knew right away that he was a find Given this, he was the kindest man Iβd ever met Back came my sense of worthlessness And my long lost pangs of regret I was my old self again, lost and confused Reunited with that old feeling Of being misunderstood and misused. Sold to the man for the price of disdain All of this would be interesting If it werenβt so mundane

One of the great things to pretend is that you're not only alright, you're in great shape. Now to have that come true - I've actually gone on stage depressed and that's worked its magic on me, 'cause if I can convince you that I'm alright, then maybe I can convince me.
I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.
It's the most amazing thing to be able to forgive.
It can't hurt to go to the people you love, whose blood type courses through your veins and whose DNA, from a certain angle, contains many of the same markings as yours. You don't have to take their advice, but let them share their version of solutions to life's difficulties. Good or bad - it could be interesting.
I have been in 'Star Wars' since I was 20. And they're not just doing some goofy sequel, like, to service the hunger of it. It actually has been thought out and it has integrity and they took it seriously, which they didn't have to do, you know? It's hard to do, given the appetite and the angles from which everybody's coming at it.
It really annoys me that I'm vain, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to discard that tendency.
That's why 'Star Wars' is appealing. You watch someone fight the perilous monster.
