But in fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real world.

I can become very emotional about math, although I'm not that good at it.

I regarded drugs as somewhat like rattlesnakes - it's possible to pick one up without getting bit, but why bother?

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

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

It's true - women want the fantasy. So give them romance - but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.
