I haven’t seen a Daniel-Day Lewis interview. He might be the best actor of his generation but his commitment to “method” tells me he doesn’t get along well in most situations.

I can tell you’re really passionate about this topic since this is the second time you’ve replied to this thread.

No, I got your meaning the first time.

I don’t blame them, per se. Part of being a star, until recently, was building some kind of mystique around yourself. There’s also this pervasive idea that artists (writers, illustrators, actors, etc.) are supposed to be pursuing their craft for “art itself” and not for money.

He isn’t guiding her toward better choices and a better life; I can’t say what her motivations are. But according to some people in my replies, using their logic that this girl…

I’ve got people (men) in my replies (who I’ve dismissed) who think that I’m projecting my experience onto all young adults and therefore dating young adults is fine, actually.

I’ll ask you: Did you wake up on your 18th birthday a fully formed adult? Did the 17 year olds in your Algebra class clap?
