Your emotional life is not written in cement during childhood. You write each chapter as you go along.

Worrying can be a kind of caring, and as such is a healthy part of a balanced emotional life.
I'm in total awe of the technique of great film people. Because if you get your emotional life up to perfection by miracle on Take One, you better have a technique to keep doing it again and again and again.
