“A builder is like a little god - somebody who does things, doesnt just draw things.”
“Everybody should get to make a living with their passion.”
“I created the characters from what I read in the script. I decided how I should talk, accent, no accent, my own voice, or a created voice. Then, I visualize what I should look like.”
“I don't like the idea of busing children all over the country. It's not safe. And there doesn't seem to be that much of an urgent need for it to be done.”
“One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.”
“I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank.”
