If you're dealing with personal kind of acting, you're not going to want to open up and expose it to everybody, because that's where the power lies, you know? It would be a little like showing your hand in poker, and then hoping you can still win.

All the world lies warm in one heart, yet the Sierra seems to get more light than other mountains.
