Alan Ball

There is a fetishization of victimization in our culture. And I just am not interested in victimhood.

I'm aware of 'Twilight,' but I've never seen the movies or read any of the books. Frankly, the story leaves me cold - why do a vampire story about abstinence?

Ultimately, physical resemblance isn't as important as whether this person can bring this character to life in a way that's compelling and makes me care about what happens to them.

Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.

Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
