Not on viewWhat I had in mind was … all of these emotions you have through your life. There are muscles in your face, and each one reacts to every emotion. Say you’re real happy for a minute, and you put on that mask, and that’s going to make an indentation in these muscles to a certain extent. I think it’s the various emotions you have had that causes the lines and wrinkles in your face. (1984)
