#quotes #bryan-adams #thoughts #habits

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen.

For my entire career, I wanted to be a director. When I was in the theater, it was very difficult to get directing jobs, and I fell into the acting by default. I got in the habit of accepting whatever came my way. Not things that I disagreed with, though.
