At some time, often when we least expect it, we all have to face overwhelming challenges. When the unthinkable happens, the lighthouse is hope. Once we find it, we must cling to it with absolute determination. When we have hope, we discover powers within ourselves we may have never known- the power to make sacrifices, to endure, to heal, and to love. Once we choose hope, everything is possible.

It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.

Living a life with meaning means spreading the word. Even if you can't move, you can have a powerful effect with what you say.

There is no such thing as can't.

A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.

Having that college-town atmosphere with a live repertory company available was a real gift. I found myself gravitating toward the theater from about the age of nine. I guess it was the environment that got me started.

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.
