I Can't Be Happy Every Day But

I've Always Tried To Go A Step Past Wherever People Expected Me To End Up.

I Had Found A Kind Of Serenity, A New Maturity. I Didn't Feel Better Or Stronger Than Anyone Else But It Seemed No Longer Important Whether Everyone Loved Me Or Not - More Important Now Was For Me To Love Them. Feeling That Way Turns Your Whole Life Around; Living Becomes The Act Of Giving.

A Primary Function Of Art And Thought Is To Liberate The Individual From The Tyranny Of His Culture In The Environmental Sense And To Permit Him To Stand Beyond It In An Autonomy Of Perception And Judgment.

Don't Get Me Started On Critics.

There Were Times In My Career ... When I Felt Like A Trapeze Artist Doing Dangerous Somersaults Without A Net Underneath. When You Execute Those Somersaults Flawlessly, The Audience Feels The Same Sense Of Triumph The Performer Does.
