I know there are a lot of readers that think I've got a very crappy marriage just because of the things going on with Rick and Lori but there's really nothing that's been like a mirror. I'm just making this stuff up.
When David Arquette and I got engaged we started therapy together. I'd heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest so we decided to work through all that stuff early.
I love John Irving's stuff. It's that marriage of comedy and tragedy. It's really terrific.
People love westerns worldwide. There's something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It's a simpler time. There's no organized laws and stuff.
If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness more compassion more joy more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of.
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.
Growing up my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn't know anything about cameras. I didn't know how to make a film and I obviously didn't have a special effects budget. I was a kid. So I was learning to draw to get down the stuff that was in my head that I couldn't afford to actually do.
I suppose I am a frustrated musician so I annoy my family by playing guitar in the house. I used to be into acoustic stuff but my son Joseph is learning drums so now I have an electric guitar and we play Metallica. We have an amp and a PA in the garage with his drum kit.
Learning about all those different things psychologically - about grief and my own addictions and problems and stuff like that and really getting an education on it I think it was part of the process of it learning about it and trying to lick it.
Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.
I can look back at stuff I wrote in my early days and squirm at some of the mistakes I made. But we're all learning every day we never stop. I just hope people keep on liking what I do. That gives me such a kick.
I like learning new stuff and continuing to educate myself as best I can.
I got problems. I freak out go to a shrink go through all kinds of therapy and stuff but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.
It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way and always end up learning something I didn't know.
I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors really good massage therapists and what I found is I've been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did.
