I was between six and ten years old. Sutherland admitted to being obsessed with what happened after your death. I sat or crouched against the wall all day trying to figure things out. I tried to answer but couldn’t so I just mumbled, “Okay.” Nothing happened. I have a spare pair of pants in my trunk, to quote Woody Allen. You see, I don’t think there is a God.

No. No. No. We’ve always thought of this person as a neighbor, so we’re not hiring you. To be honest, you don’t look like someone who lived next door. No. But it’s my life.

When I was 20, a friend of my father’s owned an extensive VHS collection. In three days I watched Don’t Look Now, Klute, MASH, Kelly’s Heroes, 1900, and Casanova.
I called him and felt terrible that I didn’t grow up knowing about his distinctive cast of characters. When I was a young actor, I never saw another artist take on so many roles. The night before the shoot, we both confessed. I’ve never been so nervous on a photo shoot, Kiefer said.
