Take every job. Learn everybody's name. Show up early. Know who you are and know who you're not. Stop dreaming and start trying.

Ask questions. Listen. Be quiet. Be willing to make a fool of yourself. Be willing to be completely exposed and to give all you've got and to be rejected for your troubles. But expect magic to happen. It just might. And don't worry about winning the audition, just win the room.

Abraham Lincoln was a melancholy man, so he had a dark side that appeals to horror fans.

Lincoln could be on the moon. He's still Lincoln.

The fact that Abraham Lincoln ever, ever became President is either a freak accident of history... or destiny; God's providence to America.

Abraham Lincoln is the guy who could never be elected today, but whom we desperately wish we could elect.

Lincoln is me. He is America. He is what makes us a great nation and a dangerous nation, all wrapped up in one man.
