I’m always courteous, not mean Picture Quote #1

When I really love a movie, I don’t want to spoil it by too frequent visits. But I like to come back to certain films, which I admire Picture Quote #1

I guess I could say I’m an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I’m putting down being a movie star, which, let’s face it, is what I’ve become to many people. For myself, I’m a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday Picture Quote #1
