Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'.
Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug.
One minute you're starting left fielder, hitting home runs; the next, it's career over. I was 20.
Before I got married, I had a girlfriend who ran off in the middle of our relationship with a millionaire. She called from the South of France and said, 'I found one, I'm sorry. That's it. Goodbye!'
As actors, we're so used to the axe falling, and then we all go our separate ways. I can tell you, the feeling amongst the cast in 'Nashville' is, we don't feel like we're done. It feels like, in some way, we're just hitting our stride.
You almost believe that you will never come to the end of a roll of tape; and when you do, there is a feeling, nearly, though very briefly, of shock and grief.
Dying is strange and hard if it is not our death, but a death that takes us by storm, when we've ripened none within us.
My career was obviously cut shorter than I wanted it to be.
Young Jimmy Dean fell off the world as suddenly as he had come.
