Quotes
I have had fits and starts of acting, but I don't know how seriously I have ever taken it.
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the outside, and the terror of the individual on the inside. But, like all things, the terror passes, and all that's left is the glory of the brave who stood up.
