Rules of life of Bruce Willis
As a child I stuttered. And much - barely able to finish the phrase. And if you stutter, you are always at ease, always something unconsciously interfere. People you feel uncomfortable because they want to help you cope with the proposal, and from this you stammer more - in other words, a vicious circle. Parents helped me simply that seemed not to notice my fault. In such cases, compassion and love - the best medicine.
When you are in trouble, there are two choices: submit or pass through the fire. I thought, okay, I stutter. But I can make you laugh, so that you forget about it. A sort of focus. And I've always tried to cheer up friends, chipping numbers to amuse peers, although this is unlikely to seem so funny to our teachers. I did not want to consider themselves inferior and asked for a role in the school play. Class in the eighth. Took to the stage - and a miracle happened: I stopped stuttering! And after the end of the play began again. Whenever I pretend someone else, not themselves, as my defect disappeared. Because of this, to me more and more like playing on stage. I fought with stuttering for years and finally won. Go to college, I knew I wanted to be an actor.
When I was in my twenties, in an absurd accident killed several of my friends. Around the same time his brother on the highway hit by a car. He flew twenty meters, and then six months was in the hospital. Soon the sisters have identified severe lymphomatosis. Now she is in complete remission, but there was a short period when we thought she was about to die. So I almost always felt how fragile life is. They say the pain - the privilege of living when you die, suffering ceases. I believe in it. When you think about death, their own or someone else's, you feel that the mind can not understand.
To thirty years I have lived in New York - perhaps it was the craziest time in my life. Still smile when I remember. There was only one duty: to be on time to the theater. No worries. At twenty-five, you can squander millions of nerve cells.
Then I became a TV star, then a movie star. Soared in the wake of glory and then realized what a minus such luck. This loss of anonymity. TV shows, movies, interviews in magazines and on television, gossip - all together creates a hologram that people take for you. But this is an illusion. Is the same as the illusion of religion and government. There was a time when I was terribly angry and protested. Has now become much calmer. And yet - you will excuse me - I will not say anything about his personal life. I have so little personal that I would not want them to share.
I know what it means to be famous, and thanks to well understand what real friendship. Most of my friends knew me back when I was much poorer. And they are all united to help me not apply to the present situation too seriously.
Before, I did not separate life from work. But when I was stoned after "Hudson Hawk", I learned to separate one from the other. Now at work behave like any other man: just try to do all that capable.
When I was a kid, forty-five years seemed to me the elderly. Now I do not feel the load of years, but I see the wrinkles in his face. Too much laughing! In my heart, I still young, twenty-five years. But drink thrown. When you have children of their own, not good to get drunk. I want to live longer for the sake of their children. I would like to run with their children.
There is such a picture with walking man: it starts from the moment when he was a tiny baby. And so he goes on and on, becoming tall and strong, and then gradually aging, hump his legs give way ... I would advise everyone to hang this picture on your wall. So a person can wake up every morning and say, "That's what the point of living the way I am now." If you look at this picture every day and ask yourself how many years you still have, you learn not to waste time. Life is short, even if live to ninety. Live to the fullest - that's how I feel. Appreciate every moment, every hour, every day, because they do not blink of an eye, all over. I am absolutely sure that for most people their death comes as a surprise.
