I can easily sleep from nine to 13 hours a night.
The wonderful thing about acting is you move along with your decade. The older you get, the more interesting the parts you get to play and you bring more of your personal experience to the part.

Eat well and sleep well. That will feed your nervous system and your psyche. As you get older, you look how you feel.
The first thing you have to do is accept that decay sets in and there's nothing you can do about it.
I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.
