vast
The vast majority of politicians think they are functioning on high principle.
For me, acting was something I fell into.
black coming constantly great minority opportunity somewhere work
One of the things about being a minority actor is that you don't have that opportunity as some of your counterparts to keep that flow, to constantly be going from one thing to the other, so when you see really great performances out there by some black folks, you know it's coming from somewhere deep, because they just don't work as much.
good happy majority strongly surprised sustain time work
For the majority of my career, I've been surprised that I've been able to sustain any kind of a plan. I was always happy to have the job, and I was having a good time. I was growing. But I don't feel all that strongly about my work.
constantly left love notes performer stuff supposed work
I love my stuff - you're not supposed to say that. But because I'm performer as well as a writer, I'm constantly interacting with my own work. I always get to find these little secrets that I left for myself, little notes - I find them all over the scores.
deny good happen people
I know I'm really good at writing for the theater. I can deny it all I want. Other people can fight me on it. It doesn't really matter. It's the thing I happen to know is my gift.
best bigger crops eating grow normal seen stuff
I have seen it and it is bigger than a normal rabbit. It's eating all our crops and we grow the best stuff here.
bring
I'll bring it (stone) back to the States,
ambivalent anyone doubtful open paying whether
I'm not doubtful that I am doing what I should be doing - writing for theater - and that I'm doing it in a way no one else does it. Whether anyone else is paying attention or anyone else cares, I'm still ambivalent about that. It's still an open question.
drown might sorrows tries
If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim.
anybody close heard particular sibling
If you listen to The Browns, it's a very pretty sound. It was sibling harmony, a sound that was very pleasing. I've never heard anybody that could come close to that particular sound. It couldn't be imitated.
employers employment few goes importance last life recognized starts top
In the last few years, employers have recognized the importance of branding their employment as something to be desired. It's become a way of life for them. It starts at the top and goes through the organization.
duet introduced knees stage time walked
I remember the first time I walked on that stage. Maxine and I were just a duet at the time, and we walked on that stage and did 'Looking Back to See.' Ernest Tubb introduced us at the time. I remember my knees were shaking.
anyone arranging assumed conducting love scratch time
I am a muso, and I love doing it. I assumed that would be my career for a long time. I always wanted to be a writer, but I didn't think that anyone could actually be that full-time, so I always go back to conducting and arranging and playing. If you scratch me, I'm a musician.
