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.

I have no bones to pick and no fight with society. And I'm willing to be and interested in being in the mainstream of society.

Even if your body doesn't work the way it used to, the heart and the mind and the spirit are not diminished.

Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.

There is no such thing as can't.

I did my first apprenticeship when I was 15, then joined the union when I was 17. I worked every summer in high school and college.

I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward.
