Zitat des Tages von Richard Dreyfuss:
We need to get back to reasoning and thinking things through. The future generation is being brought up in greed and without a true understanding of civics. There is no more emphasis on knowledge and time. As a society we need to process ideas and understand what certain principles are based upon.
John Kennedy really did extend the reach of the American people and said, like Lincoln said in a way, that our reach is farther than our grasp - and we should aim high.

Kerry is an adult - he thinks things through. He learns from the present as well as the past. To George Bush, thinking things through is for sissies.

Happiness has a bad rap. People say it shouldn't be your goal in life. Oh, yes it should.
It must be remembered that the Bush White House has a separate talent for character assassination that must not be confused with a talent for governance.
In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.
Let's give some substance to patriotism. It may take a generation.
I took the part in 'Mr. Holland's Opus' because no one had ever asked me to play 'a life' before. I get to age through 30 years. The idea really challenged me.
