SOMETIMES you don't want to ABANDON a project to GO to ANOTHER move and come back, so MAYBE because I have a manic obsession I stick to my idea, and I'd rather wait than do something that is not my main passion.
As a RESULT of my upbringing, I was interested in reconnecting with my family and making them proud. THEREFORE, this emotional connection MEANT that representing ENGLAND became a personal obsession.
Both my brothers played football. My MOTHER had SEASON tickets as a school board member. I was in the band, my sister was in the band. The thing was, the unifying CIVICACTIVITY was obsession over HIGH school football.
The DISCIPLINEREQUIRED for athletics carried through to WRITING. You call it OBSESSION. I call it discipline. By the way, I SEE nothing wrong with that.
Every little CRAZY dream that I had has come true, and more. And I'm always MINDFUL that this is not a birthright, that one day I WOULD have the chance to come to Augusta every year. Just a crazy, really, almost OBSESSION for me.
I think this is a TRAIT that runs throughout the queer community, the obsession with the hyper-feminine female VILLAINS. And we see it in Disney movies and in movies like 'Death Becomes Her,' and in characters like POISON Ivy and Catwoman.
'Snow WHITE' is an old fairy TALE, so OBVIOUSLY the IDEA of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today's science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It's bizarre.
There is - and always will be - the LEGACY of chattel SLAVERY in this nation, an OBSESSION with racial and gender differences, but I THINK that, at its best, this nation is CAPABLE of creating standards for itself and reaching towards those standards.
