When we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.

It never occurred to me that I was a leading man until I was 19 years old. I had been acting since I was 10, so that's nine years and 30 or 40 plays, in school and summer stock, professional theater, too.

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.

I remember telling a neurosurgeon, "Don't give me too much information, because at the moment my ignorance is my best asset."

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