If people don't actively knock the scenery over and they get the words out in something approximating the right order, you're moving on.

Most profoundly deaf people have speech that is very difficult to understand.

I'm one of the handful of survivors of the guys I came up with.

You have to give people the opportunity to prove themselves.

There is no relation to sound for deaf people. It is a totally different mental process.

I did my first movie,a movie called Whiffs, which very few people ever saw.

I had a very low voice for the character in the show. I said, "That's not actually my voice. That's the character's voice." I'm being such an actor.

She [Susan Lucci] was extraordinary. She wouldn't look at the scene until you walked in to rehearse it. It was amazing to me. That's the impression I got anyway.

I have to say I was very lucky in this [movie] business. I was in the right place at the right time when I first got started.

In a very real way Norman [Lear] godfathered me into my career. He was the best mentor anybody could have ever had.

I consider anybody who has been able to make a living in this business [movie business] without having to do something else for a living for any period of time let alone 43 years would be a miracle.

I would rather risk failure than achieve it without risk.

Your decisions determine where you will or will not be in later days to come. Rise up and direct them well!

Each day carries in the blessings of God and you have unlimited access to all it offers.

God could not consistently love men if He did not provide for the judgment of evildoers.

Pity and forbearance should characterize all acts of justice.

We don't have stomachs for the things of this world because we have feasted on the goodness of our God.

I'm really aware of how feminism and feminist rhetoric has been appropriated by the right.

There are some great teachers who have had great students, but they themselves can't play a note. I don't understand it, because the most I learned from my teacher was just hearing him play.

Difficult folk, these women!

I'm a control freak and I like to be overprepared, and I'm overly organized and I'm not in the moment a lot of the time.
