I've always been a character actor, although I'm not quite sure what that means. All my scripts are absolutely covered in notes, so any time I say anything - even 'pass the salt' - I have six subtexts, comments on what I really mean when I'm saying that.

Christopher Walken

Time, Character, Saying

Jonathan Frid

Truth, Friend, Person

A death from a long illness is very different from a sudden death. It gives you time to say goodbye and time to adjust to the idea that the beloved will not be with you anymore.
Meghan O'Rourke

Time, Death, Long

Paul Theroux

Life, Second, Fiction

Alison Sweeney

Love, Music, Work
