"I can't spend time with people that I don't enjoy. I can't do it anymore as theater. I make choices, and that's a beautiful thing about growing up, learning to say no. In a nice way, but you say no...
...I have this friend of mine...And we, you know, we parted. We just went different ways in our lives.
Once he came back to me, he said, '...you don't like me anymore.'
And I said:
'No, it's not that I don't like you. We've chosen different styles of life. I still have these beautiful souvenirs of all the things we did together and how close we were and so on. But the truth is, it's not that you bore me, but I don't enjoy talking to you anymore. And I don't want to fight with you, but you know...there's nothing in common between your life and mine nowadays.'
...I said the truth...growing up has a bit to do with that, to be able to tell the truth, to show who you are even if it hurts."
