Our country was thereby saved from the consequences of its distracting individualistic conception of democracy and its merely legal conception of nationality. It was because the followers of Jackson and Douglas did fight for it that the Union was preserved.

Acting classes I guess are good and I would like to maybe sometime take one. But I would feel like I was learning someone else's technique. I like mine.

I'm now learning how to distinguish when I'm acting and when I'm not acting - offstage as well as onstage.

I don't think any other city in the world... the sun doesn't shine the same way anywhere as it does in New York. And then I guess everyone's very good at hanging out. Not in a crazy way but you're just constantly interacting and learning.
