The initial spark, your affection for the characters, all those things can disappear. It’s a perilous thing.

I got into lobbying kind of against my will at first. I frankly didn’t want to be a lobbyist, but I realized that in lobbying I could do things politically that were interesting to me and do some what I thought would be good.

By living so long, the supercentenarian earns the prefixal ‘super’ and becomes a person suddenly freighted with power and meaning. He’s Gandalf, Yoda, the Ancient Mariner, perhaps with some otherworldly insight. He’s lived so long that, in fact, he’s living the afterlife to his own initial life.

Reading ‘Blood Will Out,’ one begins to understand how so many people were duped by Clark Rockefeller. All the imposter needs is some kind of initial agreement that he is who he says he is; thereafter, consensus builds via a network of human relationships.

My initial goal for the 1984 opening ceremonies was a show that would be majestic, inspirational, and emotional – a 20 goosebump experience.

With ‘Scandal,’ I was there from the beginning. I got to experience the transformation from its initial slow start to the water-cooler hit it became. I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride, and am deeply grateful for it. I can’t believe how often people stop me on the street to talk about it.

Yes, people used to recognise me even during the initial days of my career as I am an actor. But now they have started approaching me with a smile and share their happiness with me. This change is all because of my humorous roles.

Napoli have given me so much. After the initial scepticism, their fans appreciated me. I would like to give them a trophy back.
