This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.

I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.

There's huge, massive mother ships going up to the Yukon. They've been filmed and are on video.

If you don't hold your team accountable then you will lose credibility and your team will be spoiled.

Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
