You cry a lot.
You smile a your mother.
You have a strong neck.
You (kinda) enjoy playtime on pack-n-play.
You have blue eyes.
I have given you the bottle, while your mother goes on a run.
That only took five weeks.
All in all…
I’m smitten.
The short answer—most professional actors don’t care.
Having said that…
Look at all actor websites in the world (mine included),
You will see [in bold]
Positive highlights of said reviews.
Personally, I loooove reading a bad review.
Especially when they say something bad about an actor I know really well.

There are the seven stages of man,
And there are the times you’ve built beds.

She moves books
You scratch

ME: The fourteen year old.
KEVIN: I know.

KEVIN: Hm.
ME: What are they Continue reading Kevin Spacey: An Interview
