I was really unfit last ...

I was really unfit last year, so I worked out for a long time, then spent time by myself in Oregon.  For about two months the only person I saw was my trainer.  Every day I did a lot of running and I just didn’t want to talk to anyone for two months.  So when I started talking again, it was like you would communicate wrongly, like you wouldn’t really remember how to speak.  That was one of the key things as well as just reading the book, reading the script a million times, just figuring things out.

Quotes from the same author

Recently I stood in the desert, far out side of L. A., and watched the sun set on a circus tent from 1930. Every where stood animals: elephants, tigers that should be loaded into a steam train. 300 extras in costumes raced around, the modern world had disappeared totally. Although that was totally fake, it still happened directly before my eyes! That was my perfect day. I would be gladly experience that every day. It happens continually to me: It calls itself work. That is wonderful and more than enough.
I am a big fan of music and clothing style of the 1960s. Whether in England or the United States, I like everything from that time.
I used to be able to be in England and just be fine. No one had any idea who I was.I get a lot more abuse in England.
I'm just scared of crowds. I just think people require things of me whenever there's a screaming crowd, and I always think I won't be able to provide what they want, so that's why I look scared all the time.
I have no reason to influence people. I just want to have it all for myself. I just want someone to pat me on the back. (laugh) It's crazy. It seems just completely ridiculous. I don't know why. I mean, three years ago, I wouldn't be able to influence my dog to walk.
