Simply surviving in this business is a feat.

The only power an actor has is the ability to say: 'No.

I'm saddened by the fact that there are some people, actors and directors whom I idolize, that I will never get to meet, much less share screen time. Gone are Katherine Hepburn, Anthony Quinn, Gregory Peck and many more, not to mention the many icons whose careers are simply slowing down.

It's easier to stay in shape than to fluctuate.
