I got to watch Frank Capra, in his eighties, in action. You read all the stories about Frank Capra fighting with the head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, "It's my way or the highway." I got to watch that. He lambasted me, "You cannot do this. You will fail." Finally, after another hour of conversation, I convinced him to help me write the speech.

The audience likes to be taken on new journeys.

I love what I'm doing, I love creating new things.

I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o'clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously.

I have always looked to movies and theatre for inspiration.

When I am on the road and heading to my next venue, I think about my audience.

I'm a horrible karaoke singer.
