~By Lee Hazlewood ~

I have friends who are leading men, and they're only ever allowed to play leading men of a certain type. But as a character actor, there's a wider variety of projects available.

~By Anthony LaPaglia ~
Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
