I was born in Champaign in 1918. From the neighborhood elementary and intermediate schools, I went to the University High School in the twin city, Urbana.
God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.
I left the North when I was 21 to go to drama school in London, and I stayed there 12 years.
I go to Scotland maybe three times a year, and I love it. When I'm at home, I feel at home, I feel myself, I feel connected.
I'm not gonna do the same, tired, standard 'I was born in a log cabin...' kind of book. There's so much more I want to do.
When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.
I was born on the day Lincoln was shot and the Titanic sank.
I'm inhabiting a life I'm not supposed to be in... and at certain times in my life, I have felt a wrongness. And not a moral wrongness but a sense that this isn't what I was born to be doing.
I was born in New Zealand, so I have a lot of family there.
