WHAT DO YOU KNOW NOW THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW IN YOUR 20s and 30s?
SIMON BAKER, star of TV's "The Mentalist" and the new film, "Margin Call."
"First of all, I love Willem Dafoe's answer!
"Now, what do I know now that I didn't know at 20? I know now that patience is the ultimate strength. In my youth, I was never going to take a backwards step. That's the way I viewed things. That was always my instinct.
"Listen, I was a bit of a scrapper. I had the working class mentality where you would never back out of an altercation.
"In so many different ways when I got older, I realized that this was not the way to conduct your life. I realized that there is an ultimate amount of strength in waiting and having patience in all situations.
"Just take a deep breath and be patient. The rewards are amazing."
