Everybody's A Dreamer.

One Of The Things That Gives Me A Lot Of Pleasure About Both The Solo Show And The Book Is That It Tells People About My Dad. He Really Was An Important Man. He Was A Kind Of Pioneer Of Regional Theater. He Was The First American Producer To Ever Produce All Of Shakespeare Plays.

The Problem Is That People Are Pulling Farther Apart, Rather Than Make An Effort To Get Back Together. There Have Been Remarkable Moments That United This Country. It Makes Everyone Feel Relieved. Then Because Of Economic Stress, Political Shifts, We Get Wrenched Apart Again. I Think It's Cyclical. I Am An Optimist By Nature. There Are Moments, The Period After 9/11, The Way We Responded. The Election Of Barack Obama. There Are Moments Where The Country Felt Good About Being American. I'm Waiting For That To Happen Again.

Don't Make That Your First Ambition, To Be On A Sitcom Or Get Into The Movies. Learn Who You Are As An Actor, And The Best Way To Do That Is To Do It In Front Of An Audience.
