I Had A Deliberate Plan To Get Into Movies By Becoming A Model, So I Went To New York And Got A Job Pretending To Be A Mannequin In Store Windows.

When My Friends And I Would Act Out Movies As Kids, We'd Play The Guys' Roles, Since They Had The Most Interesting Things To Do. Decades Later, I Can Hardly Believe My Sons And Daughter Are Seeing Many Of The Same Limited Choices In Current Films.

This Dapper Little Mouse That Wore Such Cute Clothes And Said Such Interesting Things, Yeah. I Thought It Was A Great Idea To Have A Mouse Like That In Your Family, So Now I Get To See What It Was Like.

[my Aunt] Took Me To My First Play, Too, Which Was Dinner Theater. I Don't Know If They Have That In England, But You Eat A Dinner While You Watch A Play. And She Ordered A Glass Of Wine. I Was Like, "oh My God. This Is, Like, The Most Sophisticated Thing I Have Ever Done."
