I worked as a draftsman for the Department of Environmental Protection, and as a teacher, in N.Y.C.; at a big bank and a small ad agency, a tiny law firm and a few giant ones; as a cashier and a dishwasher; preparing deli sandwiches and stringing tennis racquets and pruning evergreens into conical Christmas-tree shapes.

What I’ve run into more than anything is people who have a belief that they know who you are. Type-casting happens because people actually write you off. ‘You are in this box. That’s all you are; that’s everything you are.’ It’s a very de-humanizing experience. Chris Carmack Read Quote

I don’t consider myself any great sage of fashion or style, whatever people may want to think. Jude Law Read Quote
