So be encouraged and dedicate yourself to your dream and if your dream should come my way one day then we will dance upon the boards of life.
I had a teacher, he was 86 years old and his name was Luigi in New York City, and he said, 'Never stop moving. You get to reinvent yourself.' So you have to find ways to reinventing yourself. Especially today, because it's a whole different market - social media is so important.

The theater was my first training ground. It taught me discipline, dedication and appreciation of hard work.
The death of my daughter is a subject I talk about briefly because there is nothing more tragic.
I go to my grandchildren. They keep their grandpa informed on what's going on.
If we plant the right seeds, tomorrow will be better. If you put out good things, then you'll get good things back. That's part of our responsibility as entertainers.
As I laid in the hospital bed I started thinking that I had a show to do. I was hoping the Doctor would put me together so I could do the show.
