Quotes

Something about stentorian authority figures has always made me laugh. I,also noticed that lots of the performers I was working with had a big,obnoxious energy that I quickly realized I could never match - and that,when they finally finished being loud, with one well-placed remark I,could also achieve some sort of comic victory.
