I Actually Tell Lies For A Living.

I Am An American. I Love My Country And Have Great Hopes For It. It Is For This Reason That I Speak Candidly And Sometimes Critically About It. I Have Benefited Greatly From The Freedom That Exists In My Country And For This I Am Eternally Grateful.

I Still Approach A Scene As One Would Approach A Guitar Solo. You Don't Exactly Know How You're Going To Phrase This Or That. Which I Think Is Beautiful. That Idea Of Chance.

And Then, 'why Is A Raven Like A Writing Desk?' Those Things Just Became So Important To The Character. You Realize That The More You Read It, If I Read The Book Again Today, I'd Find 100 Other Things That I Missed Last Time. It's A Constantly Changing Book.

I Never Wanted To Be The Guy People Looked At. I Felt I Could Only Be Myself When I Was Alone, That I Turned Into Some Kind Of Novelty. The Only Way I Could Get Through That Time Was To Drink. I Poisoned Myself With Alcohol For Years But I've Never Been Into Drugs In The Way It Was Sometimes Made Out.

I Suppose Nowadays It's All A Question Of Surgery, Isn't It? Of Course The Notion Is Beautiful, The Idea Of Staying A Boy And A Child Forever, And I Think You Can. I Have Known Plenty Of People Who, In Their Later Years, Had The Energy Of Children And The Kind Of Curiosity And Fascination With Things Like Little Children. I Think We Can Keep That, And I Think It's Important To Keep That Part Of Staying Young. But I Also Think It's Great Fun Growing Old.
