What is your greatest failure?

[just_viggo]

I'm not sure I want to say anything about failure, except that any day that goes by where I don't do what I want to do, achieve what I set out to achieve, that kind of thing - is in some ways a failure. Because there's no excuse to not do those things. I have the resources - time, health, functional capacity, money - and I have the freedom to choose how to use them. I guess I'm fortunate that way so to waste those resources is like a failure on my part. And its good to think of it that way because its good to remind yourself that you're one hell of a lot better off than some folk who aren't in a position to choose - because of poverty or ill-health or political repression.

So that's my take on failure. Each day I have the capacity to succeed or fail and its up to me to make that choice. I'm sorry if you were expecting me to say that my greatest failure was not getting the part of Vida Boheme in Wong Foo. And for the record, I don't hold a grudge against Patrick Swayze - he was way prettier than me...

I have to disagree. Your ass is far prettier than Patrick Swayze's and your voice sexier. And I still thinkg that you would have made a gorgeous Vida Boheme.

*slips hands round waist and cups Sean's ass* You're biased, Bean. But I love you... Maybe one day I'll put on the makeup again - just for you. What d'you think?
