1 Age

  • 1. The trick is growing up without growing old.

  • 3. Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age.

2 Amazing

5 Architecture
