I grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina where Fort Bragg is, basically where the Mid Atlantic territories were sort of based out of the Carolinas. So I grew up watching guys like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and the Road Warriors.
I rented a house in Favignana, off the coast of Sicily, in the mid or late ’90s. There was a revolving door of visiting friends and family – we played games, painted our faces, went swimming naked, cooked big meals, rode around on motorini, and had great cappuccinos.
An era that I specifically like is sort of late ’50s, early ’60s. I guess mid ’50s, too. I like these types of films that deal with post-WWII America and this more complex leading man that kind of emerges from that.
I decided to come to the U.S. in the mid ’90s because the Internet, which I knew was the wave of the future, was red hot here, but hadn’t yet taken off in China.

Once cable started coming around, I had a lot of access to a lot of different wrestling, but primarily, the Mid Atlantic stuff is what I sort of fell in love with.

Anyway, in the mid 80’s I was spending a fortune buying old Golden Age books from the late 30’s and 40’s and I was making personal appearances at a lot of sci fi and comic book conventions all around the country here so that I could find books for my collection.
I suppose the more established one gets, you have what’s called a reputation, and so you want to protect that and preserve that. And I think the bravery really comes in one’s mid career where you then are constantly trying to move beyond that and move past that, because those so-called successors can become shackles.
When I first started doing these roasts in the mid ’90s, they were a lost art, like jousting or calligraphy. But I feel like roasts help tame the room and let off steam… It’s like it’s all being handled by professionals.
Go out there and try on everything – short skirts, long skirts, mid length, little jackets, men’s clothing – and really look at yourself; really walk around in the clothes. Don’t just take someone else’s advice. You must feel you in these clothes and feel what it’s like to live in them.
I read a great deal of science fiction with consummate pleasure between, say, the ages of 12 and 16. Then I got away from it. In my mid- to late 20s, I started trying to write it.

My childhood was a happy one, spent in a tall house in South Kensington and later in East Sussex, but my early and mid teens were less successful.
I quit it because at the end of seven years in an ensemble show with one leader, I thought: ‘I will be known as ‘Dallas’ starring Larry Hagman and the cast.’ And at this point in my career – I was in my mid to late 30s – I thought, ‘Now is the time when it’s hottest for me to go out and establish my thing.’
I had lived in Fukuoka during the mid 1990s, and I was a volunteer with the Fukuoka Asian Film Festival.

Being a winger or a wide mid, I have to run continuously for 90 minutes, which not only takes endurance but also strength in my legs to be able to be explosive for 90 minutes. I think weight training has really allowed me to sustain for those 90 minutes.
Research shows that women at that mid level tend to get promoted based on performance, and men tend to get promoted based on potential.
‘Power’ usually starts principal photography around mid September, and the first table read is always like one big family reunion. The most common comment we hear is how ‘well rested’ everyone looks… something that can’t be said by the end of the season.
Today’s marijuana is also twice as strong as it was in the mid 80’s.
When it broke out in the mid 1990s, the web was society’s first at-scale digital artifact. It spread in orders of ten, first thousands, then millions, then hundreds of millions of pages – and on it went, to the billions it now encompasses.
The stream of civilisation flows on like a river: it is rapid in mid- current, slow at the sides, and has its backwaters. At best, civilisation advances by spirals.

A technical survey that systematize, digest, and appraise the mid century state of psychology.
My father is Italian, and I never met my paternal grandparents. The family name was ‘Caroselli’ and it was changed in the mid ’50s. I think they wanted to assimilate, which was pretty common, although I love the name ‘Caroselli.’
In the early and mid 1990s, every musician I knew was obsessed with Helium. The ‘Pirate Prude’ EP and ‘Pat’s Trick’ played on repeat at nearly every gathering I attended. And we didn’t just listen to these records – we discussed them, the worlds they opened, novelistic and strange.
I would have been happy to have waited till I was in my mid- to late-30s before I got married, but you don’t choose when these things happen, and when they do, there’s no doubt in your mind.
As an actor I kind of do. I started out doing voice overs in the mid 80s when I was in grad school.
The flow that I use, I really developed my rap style in the mid ’80s based on Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers, from listening to him. That’s like really who I pretty much patterned my style from and I just really took it to another level once I had the opportunity to get out amongst the world myself.

Several times, I’ve been talking with some gross person at a party and had them literally walk away – mid convo – to ruthlessly approach someone more famous.
