My mother was a teacher my father was a community organizer. I come from a working class background.
I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life I'm not a teacher I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.
My father was a teacher and there were teachers all around his friends they were working for the Government and their behaviour was within strictly limited areas.
I was 20 years old working as a roofer and a telemarketer and driving a taxi just barely getting by. A friend of a friend suggested I try acting. I was like 'Why? What am I going to do? Community theater?' But I took a class and the teacher thought that I had potential so I moved to Vancouver and started auditioning.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them the teacher is the most important.
I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
For globalization to work for America it must work for working people. We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our middle class and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that middle class.
Success is not a destination but the road that you're on. Being successful means that you're working hard and walking your walk every day. You can only live your dream by working hard towards it. That's living your dream.
I think that my biggest attribute to any success that I have had is hard work. There really is no substitute for working hard.
In a balanced organization working towards a common objective there is success.
