Quote by Alan Watts
We are sick with fascination for the useful tools of names and num

I havent really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said, Son, that is where you need to go. – Robert Pattinson
