Although a lot of pain for a little screen time; Shaving legs, waxing eyebrows, high heels, trying to put on a bra, losing weight because women's clothes are SO revealing - Ladies you have my respect.

It's easier to stay in shape than to fluctuate.
Simply surviving in this business is a feat.
Sometimes I only hope to make a good popcorn movie.
