Actors never discuss future plans.

In our resolve to build a better world... we seek to summon what Abraham Lincoln called the better angels of our nature.

You weren't going to the theatre to change the world, but you had a chance to affect the world, the thinking and the feelings of the world.

No one asked me to be an actor, so no one owed me. There was no entitlement.

So by the time I got to Michigan I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year and then those mute years continued until I got to high school.

So in my junior year, I switched to the drama department.

I was an adopted child of my grandparents, and I don’t know how I can ever express my gratitude for that because my parents would have been a mess.
