Being in TV, we get to do it again and again until it's 'right.' There's a part of me that likes the other way, that ASPECT of THEATRE where there's no chance to GO back.
At the AGE of SIX, I declared that I wanted to be an astronaut. My MOTHER thought that was just fine, as it would encourage me to learn science, and besides, there really was no chance I would ever ACTUALLY become an astronaut.
I don't KNOW why PEOPLE do not read 'Mein Kampf' more regularly. It tells you first-hand about all the narcissism; you SEE that collapse in German culture. There is no CHANCE that anyone could become a Nazi by reading that book.
When a MAN tells a woman there is no chance of a FORMAL, committed, LONG-TERM relationship, the only self-respecting RESPONSE is to TAKE him at his word and move on.
