Mickey Rourke in ‘One Can Make a Difference’
There are two things I love about the new paperback version of PETA founder and president Ingrid Newkirk’s book, One Can Make a Difference: How Simple Actions Can Change the World. First—and most importantly—it includes a brand-new essay written by none other than actor Mickey Rourke. In his contribution, which is exclusive to the new paperback version, the Golden Globe winner writes about his struggle to overcome his personal demons and about the six rescued dogs who helped him succeed.
“There isn’t much worse than being a ‘has been,’ being used to sitting at the best table in the fanciest restaurant just by showing up, and then reaching a point where the restaurant won’t even take my call,” he writes. “It was a humbling experience for me, and the dogs were the biggest help in getting me through because I could see that the dogs from the pound are like me. Bad things have happened to them, too, and they bear the scars.”
Second, the lighter version is easier to stick in my purse, so I can have it handy to read while commuting.
