London, Sep 14: Actor Paul Michael Glaser, who has given up on finding love again, says he is happy being single.
Twenty years ago he thought his life was over after his teacher wife Elizabeth and daughter Ariel died from Aids and his son Jake was left infected by HIV.
He said: "I was full of rage, anger and guilt that I couldn't do anything to stop this. I'd ask, 'Why me? Why Me?' But the only answer to that question was, 'Why not me?' In my darkest moments I probably thought about ending it.
"But nothing made sense, even that. I liken it to being a soldier in Vietnam. Somehow you put one foot in front of the other and you get through it."
The actor then married Tracy Barone, but they parted ways in.

Scranton, Pa. — NBC's long-running "The Office" was a faux documentary about cubicle life. The Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. didn't exist.
Try telling that to merchants, tourism officials and regular folks here in the real-world city of 76,000, for whom the Emmy-winning comedy – which ends its nine-season run next week – had a tangible and lasting impact.
Even though "The Office" was shot in California, it was set in Scranton, and every "Office" booze cruise on Lake Wallenpaupack, shopping excursion to the Steamtown mall and after-work party at Poor Richard's Pub meant real cash in real registers as the show's intensely loyal fans flocked to northeastern Pennsylvania to see where their favorite characters lived, worked and played.
"If people weren't talking about Scranton before this show aired," said Tracy Barone, executive director of the Lackawanna County Convention and Visitors Bureau, "they were talking about it afterward."

Glaser Forced To Pay Half Daughter's School Fees
A judge has ordered Starsky And Hutch star Paul Michael Glaser to pay for his daughter's tuition, after his ex-wife slammed him for refusing to cover the costs.
According to recent court documents filed by Tracy Barone, who divorced the star in 2007, Glaser failed to take responsibility for half of 13-year-old Zoe's education fees, amounting to $11,000 (£6,875)-a-year.
Her lawyer pointed out that the actor has spent $12,800 (£8,000) on his golfing hobby in the past six months and would have to pay his lawyer $7,000 (£4,375) to defend him in the child support battle.
And earlier this week (begs12Sep11), a judge sided with Barone - Glaser has been ordered to pay his half of the fees, as well as $3,500 (£2,187) in attorney fees, according to TMZ.

Glaser Blasted By Ex Over Child Support Battle
Starsky And Hutch star Paul Michael Glaser has come under fire from his ex-wife again after allegedly refusing to contribute to their daughter's tuition fees.
The actor, who played Detective David Starsky in the classic TV cop series, was sued by Tracy Barone earlier this year over claims he had failed to pay $3,224 (£2,015) in child support and $13,000 (£8,100) in spousal support.
And now Glaser is facing additional legal action from Barone, who he divorced in 2007, amid new accusations he's failing to cover 13-year-old Zoe's education fees.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Barone claims Glaser is not willing to take responsibility for half of the child's school fees, which amounts to an estimated $11,000 (£6,875)-a-year - while the 68-year-old actor has happily spent $12,800 (£8,000) on his golfing hobby in the past six months and would have to pay his lawyer $7,000 (£4,375) to defend him in the child support battle.

Glaser Sued By Ex-wife
Starsky And Hutch star Paul Michael Glaser is facing legal action from his ex-wife after allegedly failing to make child support payments.
The actor, who played Detective David Starsky in the classic 1970s cop series, is being sued by his former partner Tracy Barone, who has accused him of owing $3,224 (£2,015) in child support payments and $13,000 (£8,100) in spousal support.
Glaser and Barone, who divorced in 2007 citing "irreconcilable differences", are parents to a 13-year-old daughter named Zoe.

Film review: 'Rosewood'
One of the least-considered aspects of massacres is that you might not hear about them, if for only the obvious fact that the victims aren't around to tell their story.
So it is with the Rosewood massacre of 1923, the murderous burning of a prosperous black community in rural Florida by rampaging whites under the impression that one of their women had been raped by a black.
Not recounted until a reporter brought it to the attention of CBS' "60 Minutes" in 1982, "Rosewood" is a powerful and heartbreaking dramatization of that awful saga. Eloquently directed by John Singleton, this Warner Bros. release is a stirring and sobering human tale, one that will surely touch hearts of all demographics.
Commercially, it seems a win-win for Warner Bros.: Singleton will entice the young, action-oriented black audience, while the film's subject matter and sophisticated rendering will win mature viewers in all demographics through positive word-of-mouth.
Head-and-shoulders above the usual, well-meaning, self-congratulatory folderol that makes it to the screen about racial injustice, "Rosewood" is a graceful evocation of a dignified community and a sobering insight into the madness of mob psychology. Gregory Poirier's insightful screenplay is a sobering reminder of what such learned social historians as Gustave LeBon have written about mob psychology, that the mob is an "idiot," galvanized by the lowest common denominator. In this scary scenario, we're led into an easy acquaintanceship with the film's chief character, namely the homey burg of Rosewood, a quiet black town of farmers and craftsmen -- churchgoing folk. Contiguous with Rosewood is Sumner, a less cohesive aggregation of whites and, as a group, decidedly less prosperous than their Rosewood brethren.
In style and personality, Poirier's story has the welcoming grace of a friendly host as we're initially led into an easy acquaintanceship with Rosewood, getting to know its people, its rhythms, its personality. At that same time, we catch snatches of things to come: In essence, we're clued to the pervasive racism of the day, not only from the trashier types but, most hauntingly, from the more enlightened whites of the area. Despite the surface calm, we see the festering combustible nature of the situation and, quite rightly, fear that it will take only one spark to set things off.
It's the deliberate, unforced patience of Singleton that gives "Rosewood" its heartbreaking power. His restraint in letting the story unfold, without overpunctuating or belaboring its narrative, allows the film to reach its full organic power. That carefulness and confidence, indeed, is what gives "Rosewood" its searing grace, and that's seen in the work of the film's superb technical team. Johnny E. Jensen's incandescent cinematography, John Williams' tender music and Bruce Cannon's supple edits kindle "Rosewood" to both its most warm and most incendiary moments.
The players bring textures and shadings to their roles that are, well, more than skin deep. Jon Voight's performance as a storekeeper who struggles to do the right thing, despite his own racist underpinnings, is perhaps his best work since "Midnight Cowboy". As a mysterious soldier who rides into town, Ving Rhames is mesmeric as a man of dignity and honor, while Don Cheadle also stands out as a man who refuses to, shuffle. It's Sarah Carrier though, as Rosewood's elderly matriarch, who absolutely melts your heart with her staunch decency.
