My biggest nightmare is I'm driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: 'Please help me.' And the people say: 'Hey, you look like ...' And I'm dying while they're wondering whether I'm Barbra Streisand. Myths are a waste of time. They prevent progression. New York critics - I hear when one of them watched A Star Is Born, he talked back to the screen. Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice. The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough. To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good. Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong? I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all. |
