Like most actors, I've always been grateful for Chinese restaurants; they were often the only places that stayed open late enough for performers to get hot food after the show.

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart; they have an incomparable mystique and mood.

What works for men does not always work for women, because success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. That's what the research shows.
