Sometimes you have to be selfish to be selfless.

In 1969, at the age of 19, I was lucky enough to work with George C. Scott in the definitive portrayal of his career over a period of many months and several countries on the definitive film version of Patton’s WWII career.

The simple act of caring is heroic.

On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial… whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level.
