People sell the common man short. Among most people, there is a real impulse toward decency, love, affection, and kindness. When someone is successful, there's always a feeling that they were lucky. Luck plays a part, sure, but to be successful, you must have iron discipline. You must have energy and hunger and desire and honesty.
Time is enemy number one.
Beat time, I say. Without money, there is no freedom. Without money, there is no art. The stage might be the only place I really feel at home. I like the greasepaint, the lights, the romance of it all.
