I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.
It never occurred to me that I looked like a movie star.
Ever since I became a movie star,I've been really weird.
I donâ€™t think any relationship responds well to pressure.
I have a great story to tell and I tell it well. No holds barred.
The literati in their cellarsPerform semantic tarantellas.I wish I did it half as well as them.
