The low points I had all helped make up my character so I probably wouldn't want to do away with them because I like being flawed and I like having them help me grow and change and become better and stronger.

I don't know how I got to this point but it must be as a result of everything that has come before so if I were to change something I might not be at this point now.

If you don't change then what's the point of anything happening to you?

No I don't regret anything at this point. That may change on the next phone call but at the moment I don't regret anything.

There are things I can't force. I must adjust. There are times when the greatest change needed is a change of my viewpoint.

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong and too pleasing.

It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine but I don't fish I don't hunt I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.

Obviously the first sentiment is disappointment that we didn't get the car home and more disappointment that at the time that it stopped the car was in the lead.

The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

Eventually I did that but it took a lot of twists and turns and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home no car no nothing. I was living in somebody's garage in Los Angeles at that point - for a year.
