In my right-wing politics of the time, I held that unemployment was usually the fault of the unemployed.

I'm one of the guys who wants to watch the film completely done, with special effects, sound and music, because I tend to get disappointed if I watch it not fully done.

Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.

I knew in my gut that there was something wrong with a system that couldn't fire its incompetents, and I had my share of incompetent college teachers.

Everything we do affects other people.

Whether you do a play in front of 100 people or a movie that one billion people see, you're still affecting people.

Acting in anger and hatred throughout my life, I frequently precipitated what I feared most, the loss of friendships and the need to rely upon the very people I'd abused.
