Since I was a very small child, I've had a kind of reverence for the past, and I felt a very intimate connection with it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was always attracted to the past as a kid.
Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.
I think the beautiful thing about the past is that it leads you to the present.
I love the past. I read about the past all the time.
I don't connect much with the present. I have more of an affinity for what came in the past.
The sense of one's past is so strong and forms our sense of self so strongly, it will always fascinate, elude and confuse me.
I think I can see more clearly now - about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am and the characters I have played - and I'm grateful for that.
The past is the past, but if you're overanalyzing or trying to repeat it, you're gonna get stuck. I just had a wonderful youth, and I loved everything about it, so I really try and hang on to it.
I try not to dwell on the past. I'm not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person.
It seemed like most of the memories faded before they had time to form. And after a while, my life with my father seemed like a familiar story or a distant dream.
