“I used to live in Los Angeles, but I didn't want my kids to grow up in the thick of the obsession with movie-making. There's a lot of sensationalism and superficiality. I wanted to take my kids out of that and raise 'em up elsewhere, and I wanted to stop being preoccupied with whether my star is on the rise or the descent. I can't imagine having a much greater life, and I don't want to be preoccupied with things that don't matter. But of course, ironically, my two oldest daughters have decided that they're going to be actresses.” WantI CanTwoMatterKidsWantedUsedCoursesStarsGrowsGrowing UpGreaterImagineDaughterDecidedRaisesActressesObsessionEmsLos AngelesThickElsewhereDescentSuperficialityMovie MakingSensationalism Author:Woody Harrelson

“If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea. One day you look around and nothing is familiar, not even your own face. My name once meant daughter, grandaughter, friend, sister, beloved.

“A daughter of a King of Ireland, heard A voice singing on a May Eve like this, And followed half awake and half asleep, Until she came into the Land of Faery, Where nobody gets old and godly and grave, Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue. And she is still there, busied with a dance Deep in the dewy shadow of a wood, Or where stars walk upon a mountain-top.” MayStillsStarsVoiceWalksHalfWiseHeardLandKingsMountainSingingDaughterShadowWoodsTongueGravesBitterAwakeIrelandGodlyCraftyMountain TopVoice Singing Book:The Land of Heart's Desire Source: The Land of Heart's Desire
