And won’t he grow up to be the healthiest of young men, all because she kept him safe? Ready for the world. Ready to one day conquer it. To travel. Get on a train. Go to work. Get blown out of her life. Maybe she should be having that glass of wine and cigarette after all. ↗

I made 22 million in 14 years... with taxes, and travel and everything else, it gets blown out the window... which is why I still need to work. ↗

Acting with Denzel is like playing tennis with someone that's better than you. You either play better tennis or get blown off the court. ↗
