I didn’t do drugs. It wasn’t my thing. But the drink was terrible. Today when I look back, it’s like I was another person. You could call it a coping mechanism, but that would be an excuse. I just drank too much Picture Quote #1

Rather than self-hatred, I was flooded with compassion for myself because I realized the pain necessary to develop that coping mechanism to begin with Picture Quote #1

It’s what all actors try to do, really, to just preserve the child inside them because their imagination is quite available. I think partly it’s because they’re still making sense of the world. They haven’t boxed everything up so neatly as most adults have. And the thing is adults haven’t solved the world - they’ve just found a coping mechanism Picture Quote #1
