Myself
(page 7)
I did not use paint, I made myself up morally.
I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.
I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.
There have been times when I have goofed up, and like every adolescent, I sometimes did get led the wrong way. I would come back home really scared to face my mom's wrath and anger, but surprisingly, I never got to face one. She would always tell me in a very nice manner that what I did was wrong and that I should correct myself.
I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.
I need to keep working on myself for a while.
I've been running a lot, taking care of myself.
I'm making little changes in my life to take care of myself, like putting in a mile or two on my treadmill every day.
I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?
God's mercy and grace give me hope — for myself, and for our world.
Tiny slices, no frosting, forty-five minutes on the StairMaster: These are the conditions, variations on a theme of vigilance and self-restraint that I've watched women dance to all my life, that I've danced to myself instinctively and still have to work to resist.
I don't follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, 'Oh, I want to be or play like so-and-so'. I just like being myself.
Eventually though, I'd like to have my own production company. Then I could create great opportunities not only for myself, but for other actors as well.
