It’s being away from you and wondering if you’re hurting, too. Or if you’re having too much fun to hurt. What he really needed was to laugh, though. So we laughed…until he cried.” That undid me. I looked at Thanet with so many questions on my lips. ↗

Maybe, I told myself, we could beat the odds.' - John ↗

When I'm acting, I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera, making sure I hit my marks, and there is the one driven by this inner fire, this delicious fear. ↗

You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you're doing, and I can manage that. ↗

When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now. ↗

My guess is many top athletes, distance runners included, use performance-enhancing drugs, enough so that the problem must be tackled. ↗
