Who or what inspires you to stay engaged and stay in the fight?

Animals, trees, it's really, and I think other than this from my daughter, it's the innocent,

the innocent that inspire me to stay engaged and stay in the fight because they don't even

know that there's a battle going on.

What's the best advice you've ever gotten?

Well, the advice that comes to mind is that I had a theater teacher, theater directing

teacher, a maxisum, a rest is soul, and he was a wonderful guy from Oklahoma.

He used to say, Oklahoma is the best place to be from, he didn't go back.

And I was going to start a theater and a theater company and the first thing we were

doing was looking for a space to rent or to buy even, raise money to buy a space to

have our theater.

And he looked at me and he said, what do you want to do?

You want to go into a theater or you want to go into a real estate?

And that was kind of the best advice I've ever gotten.

Just do the actual thing, you know, you get rid of the preconceived notions around the

thing.

I want to barn to have a theater.

You need a group of people to make plays.

I'm going to worry about where you do them after that.
