“Normal people terrify me, because they haven't had enough problems in their life to know how to handle problems when they come up. Something little happens and they snap.

“Kerouac's books portray a hero and narrator free and easy, confident, sure of his rebellion against the American system. In reality, Jack was torn between Catholicism, Buddhism, and his own demon-driven pursuit of kicks, between spirit and flesh, between mom's house and the Beat coffeehouse, patriotism and subversion, men and women, society and solitude, carousing and meditation, sacred and profane, secular and divine. It's a miracle he survived as long as he did.” MenLongBookRealitySpiritHouseEasyMeditationDivineBuddhismMomHeroSolitudeBeatsMen And WomenMiracleSacredDrivenFleshPursuitKicksDemonRebellionCatholicismSecularSurvivedTornProfaneNarratorsSubversion Author:Gerald Nicosia
“My Dad played the trombone and I think my Mom played the piano for about two years. It is very self-driven. They pushed me to do piano lessons, but they were never forceful about anything. They never pushed me to sing or anything, it was something that I did myself.” ThinkingYearsTwoSelfMomDadLessonsMy DadMy MomDrivenPianoTwo YearsPiano LessonTrombone Author:Thomston
“I remember when I started acting and didn't get a part and was really jealous of the girl who got it. My mom would say to me, "If you don't get a part, that means it's not your part. It's just not yours. You will have your parts." It really recalibrated me at a very young age to where I could be driven because I was trying to achieve things for myself, and that had nothing to do with what anybody else was doing.” IfsTryingMeanAgeRememberYoungGirlActingAchieveMomMy MomDrivenJealousRemember WhenYoung Age Author:Gwyneth Paltrow
