I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role.

I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I would never miss any of the comic books. I had practically no hair when I was a kid! ↗

It's hard for children's authors to be accepted when they try to write adult books. J.K. Rowling is the exception because people are so eager to read anything by her, but it took Judy Blume three or four tries before she had a success. ↗
