That's why you aim high, and kill your self to attempt to achieve. Thelonious is an amazing place to aim. I mean, I'm a keyboardist, and I listen to a lot of Liszt, Scarlatti, and Rachmaninov. Can I play as well as those three? **** no, but it doesn't stop me from exposing myself to as much as I possibly can, and noodling around as much as my time allows me.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
