Trivia

  • Look, I like people very much. I`m not very good with people, but that doesn`t mean I don`t like them. I do like them. Because we actors are on that great big screen and so many people see us, we become familiar. People speak to us as if they`ve known us all our lives. That just tickles me to death.
