People often think that you get the most of everything from having your face on the screen but its really, like musicians, when you hit the road.

Most people think of leaders as being these outgoing, very visible, and charismatic people, which I find to be a very narrow perception.

I met Jack Nicholson when I was about 10 at a party of my uncle's, and it wasn't so much that I knew his films because I was small, but he wore sunglasses inside at night and I thought that must mean he was very important and was suitably star struck by his charismatic presence.
