Like most New Yorkers I was shell-shocked immediately after 9/11 and couldn't put into words what I was feeling.
At 24, my head was as shiny as a cue ball on a billiard table. I naturally thought this meant curtains. Actually, I found it helped. When I was too young to play real character parts, they mistook me for older because of the bald noggin. I got juicy roles right from the start.
Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none.
