You can't look at people being crucified. Even if you know it is just pretend.
I don't think I've been in a supporting role in any of the plays I've done, ever.
Acting attracts shy people and show-offs.
I find talking about acting very boring, having to come out with platitudes about how terribly nice everyone is. I would much rather just do it.
In my life, I've had estates in Russia, houses in Spain, in Norway, in the deep south of America.
