Orlando BloomI like bars with a mixed cast of characters, including writers and blue-collar types, and places that have a good vibe of semianonymity.

Kahlil Gibran"I don't know what the big issue is about it [a kiss with Neve Campbell in Wild Things]. It's a role, and I think a bigger issue is made out of it. It was a part I took and it's what the character did, so I did it."
