mind body spirit
Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.
hero maturity views
What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. From an acting point of view, that's how I approached the part.
want stage audience
And if you can channel the truth of your own experience onto the stage, that's what the audience wants to see.
father responsibility long
When I first began acting, I assumed an intellectual responsibility attached to my profession, which I had accepted for a long time. My father taught me that an actor had to have a social and political conscience, and that the work that he does has to reflect from that.
able feels
To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.
writing
Once we choose hope, everything is possible.
kitchen kind canvas
The bigger the canvas, the better I do. I'm not so good at understated, kitchen-sink kinds of parts.
time moving health
We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
laughter live-life joy
I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter.
dream vision disabled
I have never been disabled in my dreams.
heart people actors
Maybe one way I am original is that at heart I really am a classical actor. I haven't had my chance yet in the commercial world to show that. Movies aren't really made about classical people so much any more.
adversity faces form
In the face of adversity, hope often comes in the form of a friend who reaches out to us.
vision ifs happens
If you don't have a vision, nothing happens.
positive inspiring graduation
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
